본 논문에서는 특이치 분해를 이용한 워터마크 기법을 제안하였다. 워터마킹의 단계는 먼저 웨이블릿 변환에 의한 저해상도 LL대역의 영상을 3${\times}$3 블록단위로 나누고, 엔트로피와 조건수를 기준으로 선택한 블록을 특이치 분해하여 워터마크를 삽입하는 것이다. 이는 워터마크 추출을 안정적으로 수행할 수 있는 저 대역 워터마크 삽입기법을 제공한다. 본 논문에서 워터마크를 효율적으로 추출하기 위해 영상에 가해진 공격을 국소적으로 모델링하여 공격연산자를 근사적으로 구하고, 워터마크 삽입 시 수행된 특이치 분해와 추정된 공격연산자를 적용하여 삽입위치에 따라 워터마크 집단을 결정한다. 각 워터마크 집단 내에서 최적의 워터마크를 구하고 T검정을 이용하여 워터마크의 유무를 검정한다. 제안된 워터마크 기법이 여러 단계 JEPG 공격에 견고하다는 것을 수치실험에서 확인하였다.

In this paper we present a technique for detecting cross-reference points that allows improving watermark detect-ability. In general, Harris detector is commonly used for finding salient points. Harris detector is a kind of combined corner and edge detector which is based on neighboring image data distribution, therefore it has some limitation to find accurate salient points after watermark embedding or any kinds of digital attacks. The new method proposed in this paper used not data distribution but geometrical structure of a normalized image in order to avoid pointing error caused by the distortion of image data. After normalization, we constructed pre-specified number of virtual lines from top to bottom and left to right, and several of cross points were selected by a random key. These selected points specify almost same positions with the accuracy more than that of Harris detector after digital attacks. These points were arranged by a random key, and blocks centered in these points were formed. A reference watermark is formed by a block and embedded in the next block. Because same alteration is applied to the watermark generated and embedded blocks. the detect-ability of watermark is improved even after digital attacks.

In this paper, an implementation method of the efficient image transmission stage using watermarking and channel ceding is proposed. Usually, image communication system consists of both a transmitter part and a receiver part. The transmitter part takes charge of copyright protection of the generated image data, and image coding and compression that can deal with channel noises when transmitting. In the transmitter part, we propose a channel coding method which protects both the watermark signal and the original signal for protecting the copyright of image data and solving channel noises when transmitting. Firstly, copyright protection of image data is conducted. For this, image structure analysis is performed, and both the improvement of image quality and the generation of the watermark signal are made. Then, the histogram is constructed and the watermark signals are selected from this. At this stage, by embedding of the coefficients of curve fittness into the lower 4 bits of the image data pixels, image quality degradation due to the embedding of watermark signals are prevented. Finally, turbo coding, which has the most efficient error correction capability in error correction codes, has been conducted to protect signals of watermark and preserved original image quality against noises on the transmission channel. Particularly, a new interleaving method named "semi random inter]easer" has been proposed.

Most of current watermarking algorithms for GIS vector data embed copyright information by means of modifying the coordinate values, which will do harm to its quality and accuracy. To preserve the fidelity of vector line data and protect its copyright at the same time, a lossless watermarking algorithm is proposed based on storage feature in this paper. Firstly, the superiority of embedding watermark based on storage feature is demonstrated theoretically and technically. Then, the basic concepts and operations on storage feature have been defined including length and angle of the polyline feature. In the process of embedding watermark, the watermark information is embedded into directions of polyline feature by the quantitative mechanism, while the positions of embedding watermark are determined by the feature length. Hence, the watermark can be extracted by the same geometric features without original data or watermark. Finally, experiments have been conducted to show that coordinate values remain unchanged after embedding watermark. Moreover, experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents content adaptive image watermark embedding using stochastic visual model based on multiwavelet transform. To embedding watermark, the original image is decomposed into 4 levels using a discrete multiwavelet transform, then a watermark is embedded into the JND(just noticeable differences) of the image each subband. The perceptual model is applied with a stochastic approach fer watermark embedding. This is based on the computation of a NVF(noise visibility function) that have local image properties. The perceptual model with content adaptive watermarking algorithm embed at the texture and edge region for more strongly embedded watermark by the JND. This method uses stationary Generalized Gaussian model characteristic because watermark has noise properties. The experiment results of simulation of the proposed watermark embedding method using stochastic visual model based on multiwavelet transform techniques was found to be excellent invisibility and robustness.

본 논문에서는 공간적 암호화를 사용하여 영상에 소유권 정보인 워터마크를 영상 픽셀의 LSB에 안전하게 은닉하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 워터마킹 기법은 영상의 지적재산권 보호에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 제안된 기법을 사용하여 공간적으로 암호화된 워터마크를 은닉한 영상인 스테고 이미지로부터 워터마크를 손실 없이 추출할 수 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 우수성을 확인하였다. 제안된 기법을 적용하여 워터마킹을 수행한 결과 영상인 스테고 이미지의 화질은 51dB이상으로 사람이 육안으로 워터마크의 존재여부를 인식할 수 없으며, 워터마크가 공간적으로 암호화되어 있기 때문에 워터마크의 보안성이 우수하다.

In this paper, we propose a new blind image watermarking method in wavelet domain. It is necessary to find out watermark insertion location in blind watermark. We use horizontal and vertical difference of LL components to select watermark insertion location, because increment or decrement of successive components is rarely changed in LL band. A pseudo-random sequence is used as a watermark. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to various kinds of attacks such as JPEG lossy compression, averaging, median filtering, resizing, histogram equalization, and additive Gaussian noise.

In this paper, the proposed watermark algorithm is based on energy distribution of the subband coefficients in the frequency domain and edge of the original image in the spacial domain. Out of these information, the KeyMap which decides the embedded position of watermark is produced. And then the binary watermark is embedded into the wavelet coefficient of LL3 subband using KeyMap and LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register).
