In this paper, we propose a watermarking method for protecting the ownership of three-dimensional (3D) content generated from depth and texture images. After selecting the target areas to preserve the watermark by depth-image-based rendering, the reference viewpoint image is moved right and left in the depth map until the maximum viewpoint change is obtained and the overlapped region is generated for marking space. The region is divided into four subparts and scanned. After applying discrete cosine transform, the watermarks are inserted. To extract the watermark, the viewpoint can be changed by referring to the viewpoint image and the corresponding depth image initially, before returning to the original viewpoint. The watermark embedding and extracting algorithm are based on quantization. The watermarked image is attacked by the methods of JPEG compression, blurring, sharpening, and salt-pepper noise.

Nowadays, zerotrees based digital watermarking techniques are considered to be an efficient watermarking technique used for multimedia data in a compressed form. This paper presents a technique for watermarking an image, by employing zerotrees derived from the wavelet packet coefficients of the transformed image to carry the watermark signal. By setting a proper threshold in zerotrees determining process, the watermark signal can be recovered without the need of original image. With our proposed technique, more amount of watermark signal can be embedded within the image, compared to ordinary wavelet transform based techniques. The experimental results show the improved performance in both qualities of the resultant watermarked image and robustness of the embedded watermark signal against common signal processing such as brightness/contrast enhancement, high-pass filtering, Gaussian noise adding and JPEG compression scheme

This paper presents a wavelet-based digital watermarking scheme for color images. We insert watermarks in the DWI domain using spread-spectrum correlation-based watermarking in luminance component of the color image. The watermark, two pseudorandom patterns, is inserted by modifying the wavelet coefficients at subband HL2, LH2, HH2 according to message bits. To detect watermark, we calculate the correlation between the watermarked image and pseudorandom patterns. As compared with correlations, the watermark detector determines embedding message. Experimental results show that the scheme is not only invisible but also robust to various attacks such as JPEG compression, noise addition and so on.

본 논문은 디지털 영상의 저작권을 보호하기 위한 기술로 양자화 영상 워터마킹을 이용한 제거 가능한 로고 기법을 제안한다. 즉, 디지털 영상에 인지 가능한 로고를 삽입하여 저작권을 보호하며, 로고에 의해 제거된 부분의 정보를 워터마킹으로 영상에 삽입하여 정당한 사용 시에는 로고를 제거하고 원영상을 복원할 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 실제 영상에 적용하여 실험해 본 결과, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상이나 로고를 제거하고 복원된 영상 모두 원영상과 차이를 느낄 수 없는 우수한 화질을 보였으며, 저작권 보호 측면에서도 삽입된 로고에 의한 저작권 인지력이 뛰어나 실용적으로 매우 우수한 방법임을 확인하였다.

Digital watermarking technology is one of method of protecting property from the illegal reproduction of digital data. This technology inserts the specific data in a certain file to identify the property, that is an author and rights, not for human to be seen and heard. In this paper, the watermarking technology which inserts a RGB rotor watermark in a JPEG2000 color image using the visual characteristics of wavelet coefficient was proposed. After applying various attack at a watermarked image according to proposed technology, the likeness between the original image, the watermark and the extracted watermark was measured and investigated. As a result, the PSNR value of image was varied depending on perceptual parameter, but we can obtain 32㏈ as a whole.

Reversible data hiding enables the embedding of messages in a host image without any loss of host content, which is proposed for image authentication that if the watermarked image is deemed authentic, we can revert it to the exact copy of the original image before the embedding occurred. In this paper, we present an improved histogram-based reversible data hiding scheme based on prediction and sorting. A rhombus prediction is employed to explore the prediction for histogram-based embedding. Sorting the prediction has a good influence on increasing the embedding capacity. Characteristics of the pixel difference are used to achieve large hiding capacity while keeping low distortion. The proposed scheme exploits a two-stage embedding strategy to solve the problem about communicating peak points. We also present a histogram shifting technique to prevent overflow and underflow. Performance comparisons with other existing reversible data hiding schemes are provided to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents a new watermarking method based on wavelet transform. Embedding algorithm call define robust area by varying thresholds and gives a watermark image the priority of significance by analyzing spatial correlation of the watermark image. Detector can adjust thresholds to the distorted watermarked image. Also detector can extract the embedded data without an original image. A new measurement for detecting the correct watermark is suggested. Simulation results show that the embedded watermark is robust against various signal processing and compression attacks.

본 논문에서는 인간시각시스템을 고려한 칼라 영상 워터마킹을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 색상과 채도의 변화보다는 휘도의 변화에 더 민감한 인간의 시각의 특성을 고려하여 RGB 좌표계의 칼라 영상을 HSI 좌표계로 변환하여 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 워터마크 삽입은 원영상과 워터마크를 이산 코사인 변환하여 계수들을 합함으로써 원영상에 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 워터마크 추출은 워터마크가 삽입된 영상을 역 이산 코사인 변환하여 워터마크를 추출하였다. 실험을 위해서 원영상은 표준영상을 사용하고, 워터마크는 지문 영상을 사용하여 실험한 결과, 비가시성과 강인성을 만족하였다.

This paper presents a H/W module that executes a fragile watermarking algorithm. The module inputs sequentially quantized DCT values, encodes watermark and then outputs watermarked DCT coefficients. A fragile and invisible watermarking algorithm is adopted, modified and enhanced here to reduce H/W size and image degradation. The module can be directly inserted between DCT quantizer and VLC encoder in wide spread JPEG/MPEG encoder. The module is expected to be used for real-time authentication purpose in DVR(Digital Video Recorder) or digital cameras.
