The use of digital imaging technique and digital contents based on internet has grown rapidly for last several years, and the needs of digital image protection become more important. For the purpose of copyright protection on digital image, the verification of authentication techniques like content authentication, ownership authentication, illegal copy and etc are needed. Digital watermarking, the invisible encryption technique to insert digital watermark into image, the sophisticated perceptual information should be used for providing transparency and robustness of images on watermarking process. In this paper, we implement the algorithm for preventing forged attack, ownership protection and authentication by transforming the wavelet algorithms in frequency domain in terms of human visual system.

In this paper, we proposed robust digital image watermarking based on modulation transfer function (MTF) of human visual system (HVS). Using the proposed method, robust watermarking is possible both in common image processing operations such as cropping and lossy compression and in geometrical transforms such as rotation, scaling, and translation, because it can embed watermark and template signal maximally using MTF of HVS. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is more robust to several common image processing operations and geometrical transforms.

디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 미디어 내부에 정보를 숨기기 위해 사용하는 기술로, 디지털 워터마킹 기술은 Robust 워터마킹 기술과 Fragile 워터마킹 기술로 분류할 수 있다. Robust 워터마킹 기술은 일반적으로 저작권을 보호하기 위한 목적으로 사용되고 있으며, Fragile 워터마킹 기술은 영상에 대한 인증과 무결성을 검증하기 위한 목적으로 사용된다. 따라서 Fragile 워터마킹 기술에서는 워터마킹 된 영상에 대해 작은 변형이라도 발생 하였을 경우 삽입된 워터마크는 쉽게 부수어져야 되는 특성을 가지고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 공간 영역에서 영상의 변형 검출을 위한 효과적인 Fragile 워터마킹 방법을 제안하였으며, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법에서는 해쉬 코드와 대칭키 암호를 사용하였다. 제안 방법에서는 원 영상을 작은 크기로 구성된 여러 블록들로 분할한 후 워터마크를 삽입하기 때문에 cut and paste와 같은 공격에 취약하지 않은 특징을 가지고 있으며, 변형 검출을 위하여 워터마크가 삽입된 영상에 대해 전체 블록을 검사하지 않고도 변형이 발생된 부분만을 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Digital watermarking has been proposed as a solution to the problem of copyright protection of the multimedia documents. In this paper a new watermarking method for digital images operating in the frequency domain is proposed. In our approach, DCT coefficients of the watermark are added to the low frequency region of the host image, and extract it using the Wiener Filter. Due to the characteristic of the wiener filtering, the watermark is robust to various image processing techniques. Experimental results show that it is possible to reliably extract the watermark without degrading image quality.

This paper proposes a quick response (QR) barcode watermarking algorithm in order to improve readability of the QR barcode in a JPEG image. The proposed algorithm embeds a watermark in a wavelet based-low frequency band for watermark robustness, and visually extracts a QR barcode after embedding the QR barcode image with confidential information into the original image via imperceptible watermarking technology. The visually extracted QR barcode watermark uses an approach to authenticate the ownership more easily through a common hardware and software-based mobile barcode reader app. Therefore, the QR barcode watermark may improve the ability to easily detect watermarks efficiently as well as imperceptibility and robustness, which is the main watermark requirement by embedding the QR barcode with watermark text information in a digital image and when compare to conventional watermarks.

Digital image watermarking is a technology used in copyrighting of digital images by embedding unremovable informations. In this paper, a pixel-domain look-up-table-based watermarking algorithm is presented. With this methodology, the watermark was embedded in the host image, but we did not observe any distortion at certain specific region of interest. This means the proposed method is preferred in case of satellite images. Then, the image manipulation tool which is called 'StirMark' will be used to perform many kinds of attacks such as rotation, scaling, filtering and compression on the watermarked image. Finally, the effectiveness of a watermarking technique in terms of 'robustness' and 'data integrity' criteria will be measured by calculating PSNR of watermark and watermarked image.

With the rapid growth of network distributions of digitized media(audio, image, and video), there is an urgent need for copyright protection. For now watermarking is a well-known technique for copyright protection of digital data. To embed a digital watermark to the image, discrete cosine transform(DCT) and wavelet transform are commonly used. In this paper, the performance of the DCT based watermarking technique and wavelet based watermarking technique were compared and the influences of the parameter a that decides the strength of the watermarking data were considered.

디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권을 보호하기 위한 중요한 기술로 취급되어 오고 있다. 삽입되는 워터마크는 압축, 필터링에서 cropping에 이르기까지 다양한 공격에 대하여 견고하여야 한다. 특히, JPEG은 인터넷 응용을 위한 뛰어난 정지 영상 압축 표준이기 때문에 JPEG 압축에 견관 디지털 워터마킹 기법이 특별히 요구된다. 지금까지 제안된 대부분의 디지털 워터마킹 기법은 JPEG의 품질수준(quality level)을 고려하지 않고 픽셀이나 계수를 변조하여 처리한다. 이것은 워터마크의 제거가 쉽게 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 JPEG 압축시에 발생되는 영상의 손실을 계산하기 위해 JPEG 압축의 품질 계수를 워터마크 삽입 시의 파라메터로써 이용하여 JPEG 압축에 의한 차를 계산한다. 인간 시각의 성질 중에서 밝기 차의 식별력을 고려함과 동시에 영상의 에지 정보를 이용한 시각 성분을 계산한다. 이와 같이 JPEG 압축에 의한 영상의 손실과 인간의 시각 성질을 고려한 워터마크를 구성한 후에 영상에 삽입하는 새로운 디지털 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다.

Digital watermarking techniques are widely applied to protect the integrity and copyright of digital content. In a majority of the literature for watermarking techniques, the watermarked image often causes some distortions after embedding a watermark. For image-quality-concerned users, the distortions from a watermarked image are unacceptable. In this article, we propose a removable watermarking scheme that can restore an original-like image and resist signal-processing attacks to protect the ownership of an image by utilizing the property of singular value decomposition (SVD). The experimental results reveal that the proposed scheme meets the requirements of watermarking robustness, and also reestablishes an image like the original with average PSNR values of 59.07 dB for reconstructed images.
