Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive watermarking algerian technique concerning the visual characteristics of human. To embed watermark to an image, features such as contrast, brightness, and texture are used. The propose method adaptively select blocks and determine the position and intensity of watermark to be applied, concerning the visual characteristics of a human. The experiment involves cropping, image enhancement, low pass filtering, and JPEG compression, which are compared on detectability of watermark against image manipulation and attack

본 논문에서는 인간의 시각적 특성에 기반한 적응적 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 워터마크를 삽입할 대상에 대한 시각적 특성 분석을 위해 영상의 휘도, 대비, 텍스쳐 등의 특징을 사용하였다. 제안하는 방법은 인간의 시각적 특성에 따라 워터마크의 삽입 블록과 삽입될 워터마크의 위치와 강도를 적응적으로 결정한다. 실험은 절단, 영상강화, 저주파 필터링, JPEG 압축의 영상처리 공격에 대한 워터마크 검출율을 비교하였다.
