본 논문에서는 대역확산 기반 오디오 워터마킹 삽입에 대한 연구를 하였다. 최근 디지털 저작권을 확인하는데 디지털 워터마크가 사용되고, 영상, 문서뿐만 아니라 디지털 오디오 분야에서도 연구가 이루어지고 있다. MP3(MPEG Audio Layer-III)에 사용하는 심리음향모델을 이용함으로써 음질에 영향을 주지 않고 지각 할 수 없는 디지털 저작권을 삽입 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 대역확산 기반 오디오 워터마킹을 위한 심리음향모델을 분석하고 Matlab으로 모델링하여 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 이를 대역확산 기반 오디오 워터마크 삽입에 적용하였다.

Forensic Marking is the technology that enables the service providers (SP) to identify the illegal digital contents distributors by first inserting markings (data indicating the user information and playback time) in realtime into the digital contents at time of playback of digital contents, and then later by extracting inserted markings from the contents which are illegally captured from the multimedia device such as IPTV STBs and distributed over the Internet. Digital Rights Management (DRM), which is a very popular content protection technology, has the security hole that can be vulnerable because the encrypted digital contents are transformed into their original plaintext forms after the decrypting process on the STBs. Therefore Forensic Marking (FM) has now become a companion content protection solution to DRM. This article describes a new way of tracking up to 4 illegal content users in FM implementation using the blue-difference chroma component of YCbCr color space. This FM technology has many advantages like fast processing time and easy portability to STB devices compared to that of the traditional watermarking processing in the frequency domain.

오늘날, 디지털 이미지 도구 프로그램은 전문가가 아니더라도 누구나 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 쉽고 빠르게 영상을 조작하여 사용할 수 있게 되었다. 그 결과 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권 보호 및 변조된 영상의 무결성을 보증하는 것이 주요 문제가 되고있다. 본 논문에서는 워터마크 정보는 물론 조작된 영상의 위치까지 검출할 수 있는 하이브리드 워터마킹 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 이를 위해 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 영상의 저주파 대역에 PN-시권스를 워터마크로 삽입하였고, 원영상 없이도 검출이 가능하게 하였다. 워터마크 신호를 파괴하기 위한 다양한 공격의 실험 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 강인성을 나타내었고 추출 후 변조된 영상의 위치도 확인할 수 있었다.

The infringement of the copyright is a problem by the distribution of digital contents copied illegally. The digital watermark is expected as a thing preventing unjust copying by burying information in digital data such as image, animation, the sound, TV, radio and movies. [1] [2]But a noise is included in a digital watermark reproduction image. So there is the case that the certification of the reproduction image has difficulty with. If a computer cannot recognize the information reproduced from digital watermarking, the information does not have a meaning. This paper aimed at improvement of the proof of a digital-watermarking reproduction image. And it is verified whether the difference of the form of a character affects the degree of correlation.

The design of geometrically invariant watermarking is one of the most challenging work in digital image watermarking research area. To achieve the robustness to geometrical attacks, the inherent characteristic of an image is usually used. In this paper, a geometrically invariant image watermarking scheme using connected objects and gravity center is proposed. First, the gray-scale image is converted into the binary one, and the connected objects according to the connectedness of binary image are obtained, then the coordinates of these connected objects are mapped to the gray-scale image, and the gravity centers of those bigger objects are chosen as the feature points for watermark embedding. After that, the line between each gravity center and the center of the whole image is rotated an angle to form a sector, and finally the same version of watermark is embedded into these sectors. Because the image connectedness is topologically invariant to geometrical attacks such as scaling and rotation, and the gravity center of the connected object as feature points is very stable, the watermark synchronization is realized successfully under the geometrical distortion. The proposed scheme can extract the watermark information without using the original image or template. The simulation results show the proposed scheme has a good invisibility for watermarking application, and stronger robustness than previous feature-based watermarking schemes against geometrical attacks such as rotation, scaling and cropping, and can also resist common image processing operations including JPEG compression, adding noise, median filtering, and histogram equalization, etc.

디지털 홀로그래피 간섭패턴은 상당히 많은 자원들(고가의 광학장비 혹은 복잡한 컴퓨터 연산)을 소모함으로써 얻을 수 있는 디지털 콘텐츠이다. 본 논문에서는 이런 고가의 콘텐츠인 디지털 홀로그래피 간섭 패턴의 소유권을 보호하기 위해 홀로그램 영역과 주파수영역에서의 디지털 워터마킹 기법들을 제안하였다. 홀로그램영역에서 워터마킹 기법은 주파수영역에서 제안한 2차원 이산 웨이블릿 변환(2-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, 2DDWT)을 기반으로 하는 기법과의 비교를 위한 것이다. 제안한 두 가지 기법 모두 데이터의 압축 및 전송과정에서 생길 수 있는 공격들에 대해 비교적 강인한 특성을 보였다. 특히, 2DDWT 기반의 워터마킹 기법은 공격 후 추출한 워터마크가 3%이하의 낮은 에러율을 보였다. 이는 기존의 광학기반의 워터마킹 알고리즘들에 비해 매우 향상된 결과이다.

Extreme development in digital multimedia has raised anxiety in the minds of copyrighted content owners. This has resulted in the creation of several watermarking techniques. This paper, proposes a method of embedding a perceptually transparent digital signal, named semi-fragile watermark in the wavelet domain, utilizing the characteristics of the human visual system. So as to detect attacks inflicted on the content and use an algorithm to specify the character of the attack.

In this paper, we proposed an watermarking algorithm in which invariable sign of DWT coefficients should be used and by which the quality of digital image can be preserved for the protection of copyright. According to the algorithm, through the calculation of the sign DWT coefficients and the use of elements, position of watermark and size value should be decided. By so doing, the algorithm can improve image quality(PSNR) and obtain good efficiency with which strong watermark can be inserted into the digital image.

A new domain PCA-based approach to watermarking is presented. This method is applied to digital images to embed and detect a watermark. The performance of PCA approach is compared to traditional frequency domain watermark models. Simulation shows the performance of the proposed method with excellent result against image cropping and robustness against some attacks such as additive noise, filtering and jpeg compression.

In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking method using the spread spectrum techniques in DCT domain. Watermark is embedded in the middle band frequencies of 8$\times$8 DCT block. Therefore, we improve image quality and robustness. Experiment results show that the proposed watermark is robust against various attack.
