This paper deals with implementing a steganography based multi-modal biometric system. For this purpose, we construct a multi-biometrics system based on the face and iris recognition. Here, the feature vector of iris pattern is hidden in the face image. The recognition system is designed by the fuzzy-based Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), which is an expanded approach of the LDA method combined by the theory of fuzzy sets. Furthermore, we present a watermarking method that can embed iris information into face images. Finally, we show the advantages of the proposed watermarking scheme by computing the ROC curves and make some comparisons recognition rates of watermarked face images with those of original ones. From various experiments, we found that our proposed scheme could be used for establishing efficient and secure multi-modal biometric systems.

Based on the generalized Gaussian pdf of DCT coefficients of images, Hernandez et al. propose the ML test applied watermark decoder. For images with watermarks shaped by the visibility thresholds of DCT coefficients and the luminance masking of human visual system, they conclude that the ML test with an appropriately chosen parameter associated with the pdf of DCT coefficients outperforms the correlation based decoder. In this paper, the parameter is estimated using various methods including a novel one for watermarks shaped by the visibility thresholds of DCT coefficients and the luminance masking as Hernandez et al. did and with the contrast masking added, and its effect on performance is compared.

A number of watermark insertion method is proposed for the protection of audio contents such as MP3 music. In this paper, we propose a VLSI architecture that performs embedding watermark to the audio signal based on the scheme that proposed by XUEYAO LI[1]. This architecture is implemented and simulated in Verilog HDL. This watermark embedding method used a visually recognizable binary image. Despite a unit that determines the watermark embedded intensity is removed to archive low complexity of H/W, our experimental results show that watermarked signal is perceptually transparency and robust to several known attacks.

Digital watermarking is the technique which embeds the invisible signal into multimedia data such as audio, video, images, for copyright protection, including owner identification and copy control information. In this paper, a new watermark detection algorithm by local masking cross covariance between watermarked signal and pseudo noise signal is proposed. The proposed algorithm enhances the detection probability for embedding information. Since reducing detection errors for the weak embedding signals, the algorithm improves the image quality and robusts against illegal attack to delete the embedding information and data compression applications such as JPEG and MPEGs.

본 논문에서는 인간 시각 체계(human visual system) 특성과 DCT 계수 분포 특성을 이용하여 칼라 정지 영상에 효과적으로 워터마크 신호를 삽입하는 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 인간 시각 체계 특성에서 무채색(achromatic) 신호보다 유채색(chromatic) 신호에 대한 변별력이 떨어지는 특성을 이용하여 입·출력 장치로 획득된 RGB 좌표계의 칼라 정지 영상을 무채색 성분과 유채색 성분으로 완벽히 분리되는 다른 좌표계로 변환하여 워터마크를 유채색 신호에 삽입한다. 워터마크를 검출하는 과정에서 원영상을 사용하지 않고 DCT 계수들간 고유한 특성을 이용하여 삽입된 워터마크를 추출하였다. 칼라 정지 영상을 실험한 결과 특히 비가시성 특성 부분에서 기존 방법들과 비교할 때 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

디지털 워터마킹은 멀티미디어 컨텐츠(영상, 오디오, 비디오 등)에 비밀스러운 정보를 은닉시키는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환과 확산스펙트럼 방법 그리고 웨이브렛 계수를 고려한 다중 임계치를 이용하여 시각적으로 인식 가능한 심벌을 삽입할 수 있는 새로운 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 워터마크 검출은 원 영상과 워터마크된 영상 모두를 삽입 시와 동일한 레벨로 웨이브렛 변환을 수행하고 워터마크를 삽입한 각 부대역간의 차신호를 이용하여 워터마크를 검출한다. 제안한 방법으로 여러 영상에 적용해 본 결과 우수한 영상의 화질을 얻을 수가 있었으며 JPEG 손실압축 뿐만 아니라 Resizing, LSB(Least Significant Bit) Masking, Filtering 등의 다양한 공격에서도 삽입한 심벌 워터마크를 쉽게 검출할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a robust, imperceptible block-based digital video watermarking algorithm that makes use of the Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) technique. The SURF technique is used to extract the most important features of a video. A discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) domain in conjunction with a discrete cosine transform is used for embedding a watermark into feature blocks. The watermark used is a binary image. The proposed algorithm is further improved for robustness by an error-correction code to protect the watermark against bit errors. The same watermark is embedded temporally for every set of frames of an input video to improve the decoded watermark correlation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DMWT domain video watermarking using SURF features is robust against common image processing attacks, motion JPEG2000 compression, frame averaging, and frame swapping attacks. The quality of a watermarked video under the proposed algorithm is high, demonstrating the imperceptibility of an embedded watermark.

In the contemporary world, the breakthrough of the ultra-modern technologies has been blessed with the camera. This device has become omnipresent either integrated on with other devices such as smartphones, notebooks, laptops, handheld devices and so on. In addition, digital signage, display and monitors have also become very widespread around us everywhere. These types of scenarios have made imaginable to imagine about the consuming of the unused resources. The dual use of displayed contents can make it possible to use it as an advertisement as well as a transmitter for camera based communication. In this study, a digital watermarking algorithm based communication method has been analyzed. We have introduced Binary Pattern (BP) based a new message extracting algorithm to extract message in an efficient way from the watermarked image compared to other algorithms. Besides, the previous works using camera and display have been illustrated using comparative analysis. This paper has demonstrated an advantageous overview using the experimental results which reveals that the proposed methodology significantly reduces the complexity while augmenting the advantages of the proposed scheme. Moreover, the simulation results have shown the advantages of the proposed scheme over the other schemes.
