Abstract

In this paper, a watermark inserting method according to the sensitivity of human visual system and minimizing distortion of original DCT coefficients in DCT transform domain is proposed. The proposed method inserts a more robust watermark in the insensitive block of human vision by reordering the blocks according to the human visual system which is appropriate to the JPEG image compression. It also enhances the invisibility and robustness in high compression rate in terms of the watermark inserting method within the block which minimizes distortions of original DCT coefficients. The computer simulation results show that the proposed method maintains high image quality and good robustness in high compression rate compared with conventional watermarking method.

본 논문에서는 DCT 변환 영역에서 인간 시각의 민감도에 따른 워터마크의 삽입과 원 DCT 계수의 왜곡을 최소화시키는 워터마크의 삽입방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 JPEG 영상 압축에 적합한 인간 시각 시스템에 따라 블록을 재정렬하여 인간 시각에 둔감한 블록에 보다 강한 워터마크를 삽입시킨다. 또한 블록 내에서는 원 DCT 계수의 왜곡을 최소화시키는 워터마크를 삽입함으로서 높은 압축율에서도 비가시성과 견고성을 향상시킨다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법이 기존의 워터마킹 방법과 비교하여 높은 화질을 유지하면서 높은 압축율 에서도 견고성이 우수함을 확인하였다.
