Abstract

Most of existing watermarking schemes insert and extract a watermark, focusing on the visual conservation of an original image. However, existing watermarking schemes could be difficult for a watermark detection in case of various distortion caused by display-capture devices. Therefore, we propose a new display-capture based mobile watermarking scheme. The proposed watermarking scheme is a new concept for embedding a watermark, which uses the generated image instead of a given original image. For effective watermark decoding, we also present a method for detecting the background image whose error bit can not be corrected because of various heavy distortion and for avoiding it from the decoding process. For this scheme, we adopt distortion coefficients of camera calibration when we separate a background image from a captured image. For finding available correction bits of ECC through the decoding process, we capture 30,000 images and then calculate the separation ratio of a background image and the average error bits per an image. As experimental result, the separation ratio of a background image is about 96.5% in 30,000 captured image. And the false alarm ratio shows about $5.18{\times}10^{-4}$ in the separated background image. And also we can confirm the availability of real-time processing because the mean execution time is about 82ms per an image for capturing and decoding.
