디지털 워터마킹(Digital Watermarking)은 디지털 미디어 창작물에 대해 불법적인 사용과 인위적인 조작으로부터 소유권과 저작권을 보호하기 위하여 입증 가능한 정보(워터마크)를 사람이 인지하지 못하도록 삽입하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 JPEG 2000에서 지원하는 Daubechies 9/7 필터를 이용한 lifting 기반의 DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) 중간에 임의의 파라메터를 추가한 lifting 단계를 구성하여 이 부분에 워터마크를 삽입한 후, 다양한 신호처리 왜곡을 가하여 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험은 8-bit 512×512크기의 영상을 사용하였으며, 무작위로 발생시킨 1과-1을 워터마크 신호로 하여 DWT 시 추가한 lifting 단계에서의 임의의 파라메터 값과 워터마크를 삽입할 각 웨이블릿 변환의 해상도 레벨을 조절해 가면서 선택한 웨이블릿 계수값에 무작위로 발생시킨 워터마크 신호를 삽입하였다. 실험 결과 영상의 일반적인 변형(압축, 필터링 등)에 대해서 제안한 방법의 워터마킹 기법의 성능이 전반적으로 강인함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we describe a fuzzy threshold selection technique for feature extraction in digital color images. this is achieved by the formulation a fuzzy inference system that evaluates threshold for feature configurations. The system uses two fuzzy measures. They capture desirable characteristics of features such as dependency of local intensity and continuity in an image. We give a graphical description of a nonlinear sketch feature extraction filter and design the fuzzy inference system in terms of the characteristics of the feature. Through the design, we provide selection method on the choice of a threshold to achieve certain characteristics of the extracted features. Experimental results show the usefulness of our fuzzy threshold inference approach which is able to extract features without human intervention.

A software-driven real-time frequency de-modulator is implemented with the aid of universal-serial-bus (USB) type software defined radio dongle. An analog stereo frequency modulation (FM) broadcast signal is down-converted to the basedband analog signal then converted to digital bit streams in the USB dongle. Computer software such as Matlab, Python, and GNU Radio manipulates the incoming bit streams with the technique of digital signal processing. Low pass filtering, band pass filtering, decimation, frequency discriminator, double sideband amplitude demodulation, phase locked loop, and deemphasis function blocks are implemented using such computer languages. Especially, GNU Radion is employed to realize the real-time demodulator.

The phenomenon degrading reception performance of DVB broadcasting signal is caused by collocation of plural communication modules in the GSM-900 cellular phone with a built-in DVB-H receiver. This paper offers how to improve performance of the DVB-H receiver by applying digital filter that is using DSP techniques to cancel GSM signal interfering to the DVB-H receiver which is collocated in a single user's GSM terminal. In the demodulation part of the DVB-H receiver, the DVB reception performance can be greatly improved by removing interference components of GSM signal, which is flowed with DVB signal, to the noise cancellation filtering algorithm using difference of characteristics between GSM modulated signal and OFDM signal.

In ubiquitous environment, information retrieval using collaborative filtering is a popular technique for reducing information overload. Collaborative filtering systems can produce personal recommendations by computing the similarity between your preference and the one of other people. We integrate the collaboration filtering method and context-aware information retrieval method. The proposed method enables to find some relevant information to specific user's contexts. It aims to makes more effective information retrieval to the users. The proposed method is conceptually comprised of two main tasks. The first task is to tag context tags by automatic tagging technique. The second task is to recommend items for each user's contexts integrating collaborative filtering and information retrieval. We describe a new integration method algorithm and then present a u-commerce application prototype.

A color image requires at least three color channels to obtain the full color image. However the image sensor obtains only the intensity of the brightness, that is, three image sensors are required for every pixel to capture the full color image. Since the image sensor is quiet expensive, most of digital still cameras adopt single image sensor array with color filter array (CFA) to reduce the size and the cost. Since the image obtained using single sensor array has only one color component per pixel, we need to reconstruct the missing two color components to obtain the full color image. We call this process as color filter interpolation or demosaicking. In this paper, demosaicking algorithm composed of two large step is proposed. Proposed algorithm is combined with several different algorithms such as Edge-directed demosaicking, Second-order gradients as correction terms, Smooth hue transition Interpolation, etc. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs much better than the state-of-the-art demosaicking algorithms in terms of both subjective and objective qualities.

Due to the development of ubiquitous computing, a wide variety of information is being produced and distributed rapidly in digital form. In this excess of information, it is not easy for users to search and find their desired information in short time. In this paper, we propose the personalized item recommendation using the image based filtering. This research uses the image based filtering which is extracting the feature from the image data that a user is interested in, in order to improve the superficial problem of content analysis. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method and it is compared with the performance of previous studies of the content based filtering and the collaborative filtering in the MovieLens dataset. And the results have shown that the proposed method significantly outperforms the previous methods.

Digital watermarking has been considered as an important technique to protect the copyright of digital content. It is essential that a watermark embedded in a still or moving image resists against various attacks ranging from compression, filtering to cropping. In particular, as JPEG is a dominant still image compression standard for Internet applications, digital watermarking methods that are robust against the JPEG compression are especially required. Most digital watermarking methods proposed so far work by modulating pixels/coefficients without considering the quality level of JPEG, which renders watermarks readily removable. In this paper, we proposed a new digital watermarking method as follows. For providing the robustness against JPEG, the quality level of JPEG is used as parameter on watermarking so as to compute the loss of image caused by JPEG compression and we compute the difference of an original image resulted from JPEG compression. Also in proposed method, we compute the visual components that are derived from the information of edge within image and consideration of brightness discrimination which is one of human visual system's properties. Thus, we proposed new watermarking scheme that after constructing a watermark by considering the loss of image resulted from JPEG compression and visual components derived from the human visual system, the watermark is embedded into the image.

Digital watermarking has similar concepts with channel coding thechnique for transferring data with minimizing error in noise environment, since it should be robust to various kinds of data manipulation for protecting copyrights of multimedia data. This paper proposes a digital watermarking technique which is robust to various kinds of data manipulation. Intellectual property rights information is encoded using a convolutional code, and block-interleaving technique is applied to prevent successive loss of encoded data. Encoded intelloctual property rithts informationis embedded using spread spectrum technique which is robust to cata manipulation. In order to reconstruct intellectual property rights information, watermark signalis detected by covariance between watermarked image and pseudo rando noise sequence which is used to einbed watermark. Embedded intellectual property rights information is obtaned by de-interleaving and cecoding previously detected wtermark signal. Experimental results show that block interleaving watermarking technique can detect embedded intellectial property right informationmore correctly against to attacks like Gaussian noise additon, filtering, and JPEG compression than general spread spectrum technique in the same PSNR.
