In this paper, we proposed the high quality audio watermarking algorithm using MDCT/IMDCT (Modified DCT/Inverse Modified DCT) with psychoacoustic model. Generally, a digital audio watermark is embedding the frequency domain after frequency transform of the digital audio data but the digital audio quality is affected by watermarking. In our scheme, the digital audio data is spread with PN((Pseudo Noise) code and then audio watermark is embedded in MDCT processing that refers psychoacoustic model. In MDCT processing, according to the shape of filter bank output, the block switching selects a window sequence that has 256, 1,024 or 2,048 points interval for high quality audio. The author confirm that when watermark weight ${\alpha}$ is 2.5 below, the detection ratio of watermark is a satisfied to SDMI's(Secure Digital Music Initiative) recommendation 50% above and SM is $50{\sim}68dB$ range with mainly 4 kind of attacks(Compression, Cropping, FFT and Echo).

본 논문에서는 영상 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위한 다중 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 다중 워터마킹은 하나의 컨텐츠에 복수개의 서로 다른 워터마크를 삽입하는 기법으로 각 워터마크들은 유일한 키로 정확한 추출이 가능해야 한다. 대역확산기법(spread spectrum)을 이용한 다중 워터마킹은 워터마크 삽입시 사용되는 키들간의 직교성(orthogonality)이 보장되어야 추출시 삽입된 워터마크들의 정확한 추출이 가능하게 된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 랜덤계열들을 Gram-schmidt 직교화 과정을 수행하여 직교화된 랜덤계열로 워터마크를 삽입하고 추출이 가능한 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안기법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 가우시안 노이즈와 감마변환에 대하여 강인함을 보인다.

디지털 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위하여 최근 디지털 워터마킹에 관하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 디지털 워터마킹이란 인간의 시각이나 청각이 인지할 수 없는 범위 내에서 디지털 데이터의 값을 약간 변경함에 따라 워터마크라고 하는 저작권 정보를 몰래 삽입하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 비 압축 비디오 계열(uncompressed video sequence)에 디지털 워터마크를 삽입하기 위한 방법을 보여준다. 대역 확산 기법을 이용하여 비디오에 pseudo-noise signal을 눈에 보이지 않도록 추가하고, 여러 조작에 대해 강하도록 구성하였다. 성능을 평가하기 위하여 비디오에 워터마크를 삽입하고 그 유효성을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 디지털 영상 데이터에 워터마크를 삽입하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 디지털 데이터를 주파수 공간으로 변환시켜 인간이 잘 감지 못하는 주파수 영역과 중요한 주파수를 선택하여 대역확산통신(Spread Spectrum Communication)에서 사용되는 유사한 방법으로 워터마크를 삽입하였다. Fourier 스펙트럼 공간에서 JPEG 압축의 다양한 양자화 단계를 거쳐도 변화가 덜 민감한 Phase에서 워터마크를 삽입할 주파수 영역을 찾았다. 원본과 워터마크가 삽입된 데이터를 가지고 워터마크는 자기상관관계 특성으로 추출하였다. 그리고 다양한 신호처리(손실 압축, 필터링, 양자화)에도 워터마크를 추출하였다.

In this paper we propose a new watermarking technique for copyright protection of images. The proposed technique is based on a spatial masking method with a spatial scale parameter. In general it becomes more robust against various attacks but with some degradations on the image quality as the amplitude of the watermark increases. On the other hand it becomes perceptually more invisible but more vulnerable to various attacks as the amplitude of the watermark decreases. Thus it is quite complex to decide the compromise between the robustness of watermark and its visibility. We note that watermarking using the spread spectrum is not robust enought. That is there may be some areas in the image that are tolerable to strong watermark signals. However large smooth areas may not be strong enough. Thus in order to enhance the invisibility of watermarked image for those areas the spatial masking characteristics of the HVS(Human Visual System) should be exploited. That is for texture regions the magnitude of the watermark can be large whereas for those smooth regions the magnitude of the watermark can be small. As a result the proposed watermarking algorithm is intend to satisfy both the robustness of watermark and the quality of the image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to image deformations(such as compression adding noise image scaling clipping and collusion attack).

This paper proposes a new approach for digital watermarking and secure copyright protection of video. the principal aim being to discourage illicit copying and distribution of copyrighted material. The method presented here is based on the three dimensional discrete wavelet transform of video scene. The watermark is a copyright information encoded in the form of a spread spectrum signal to ensure the system security and is embedded in the 3D DWT magnitude of video chunks. The performance of the presented technique is evaluated experimentally.

In this paper, we present a digital authentication technique using content-based watermarking in digital images. To digest the image contents, Hopfield network is employed on the block-based edge image. The Hopfield function extracts the same tit fur similarly looking blocks so that the values are unlikely to change to the innocuous manipulations while being changed far malicious manipulations. By inputting the extracted bit sequence with secret key to the cryptographic hash function, we generate a watermark for each block by seeding a pseudo random number generator with a hash output Therefore, the proposed authentication technique can distinguish between malicious attacks and innocuous attacks. Watermark embedding is based on the block-based spread spectrum method in DCT domain and the strength of watermark is adjusted according to the local statistics of DCT coefficients in a zig-zag scan line in AC subband. The numerical experiments show that the proposed technique is very efficient in the performance of robust authentication.

The digital content's security and authentication are important in the field of digital content application. There are some methods to perform the authentication. The digital watermarking is one of authentication methods. Paper presents a digital watermark authentication method that works in the application of digital image. The proposed watermark has the triple status information and performs the embedding and the detection without original Content. When authenticating the owner information of digital content, an autocorrelation function is used. In addition, a spread spectrum method is used to be adaptive to the signal of the original content in the frequency domain(DWT Domain). Therefore, the possibility of errors occurring in the detection of hidden information was reduced. it also has a advantage what Watermarking in DWT has faster embedding and detection time than other transformation domains(DFT, DCT, etc.). if it has a an image of size N=mXm, the computational amount can be reduced from O(N·logN) to O(N). The particular advantage is that it can hide more information(bits) per bit.

In this paper, we suggest a new audio watermarking method for audio contents copyrights that can efficiently provide protection from MP3 compression attacks. Watermarks were inserted at the coefficients repeatedly from low frequencies to high frequencies after DCT transform in commonly used Cox's spread spectrum method. Because the methods using arbitrary coefficients are not effective, we use the new weight functions that make small losses for the watermark coefficients during attacks, using psychological acoustics. In the results of various sound clips, the suggested method had overall better outcomes than the Cox's method by preserving watermarks and reducing distortions of the original sounds.

In this paper, we designed about OFDM/QPSK image transmission system simulator embedded watermark in wireless channel environment. Channel environment used OFDM/QPSK still image transmission system considering AWGN, Multi-path fading. And, we analyzed effect of still image and watermark information in considered channel environment. Watermark information is coded by DM-SS (Direct Matric/Spread Spectrum) image watermarking scheme, Also, we used interleaving scheme for mitigating the degradation in watermarking data under wireless channel. As a results, we could know that PSNR of watermark image improved of about 1dB by 54.2371dB then apply interleaving in same multi-path fading environment.
