Abstract

With the rapid development of the VR industry, many VR contents are produced and circulated, and the need for copyright protection is increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of embedding and extracting watermarks in consideration of VR production process. In embedding, SIFT is performed by selecting the region where distortion is minimized in VR production, and transformed into frequency domain using DWT and embedded into the QIM method. In extracting process, in order to correct the distortion in the projection process, the top and bottom regions are changed to different projection methods and some middle regions are rotated using 3DoF to extract the watermark. After this processing, extracted watermark has higher accuracy than the conventional watermark method, and the validity of the proposed watermark is shown by showing that the accuracy is maintained even in various attacks.

VR 산업의 급격한 발전에 따라 많은 VR 콘텐츠들이 제작 및 유통되면서 저작권 보호에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 VR 제작과정을 고려하여 워터마크를 삽입 및 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 삽입에서는 VR 제작에서 왜곡이 최소화되는 영역을 선택하여 SIFT를 수행하고 DWT를 이용하여 주파수로 변환하여 QIM방식으로 삽입한다. 추출에서는 투영 과정에서의 왜곡을 보정하기 위해 위와 아래영역은 투영방법을 변경하고, 중간영역 중 일부는 3DoF를 이용하여 회전을 수행한 후 워터마크를 추출한다. 이에 대해 기존의 워터마크 방법을 적용했을 때보다 높은 정확도를 가지며 다양한 공격에서도 정확도가 유지되는 것을 보임으로 제안한 워터마크의 유효함을 확인한다.
