초록

본 논문에서는 칼라영상 각 채널에 대한 인간시각 특성이 다르다는 것을 이용하여, 워터마킹의 강인성과 화질열화에 중요한 영향을 미치는 Scaling값을 구하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 또한, 칼라영상이 다채널 영상임을 이용하여, 상관도와 임계값의 차이가 최대가 되는 경우를 선택하여 워터마크를 삽입하는 선택적 워터마킹 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬을 통하여 동일한 화질열화의 조건 아래에서 보다 향상된 강인성을 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose the new algorithms of watermarking that utilize the characteristics of color images for solving the trade-off problem between the image quality and the robustness. Since the human visual characteristics of each RGB channel are different, we can gain more robust watermarking on the condition of the same image degradation.
