최근 급증하는 디지털 멀티미디어 정보를 보호하기 위해 다양한 종류의 디지털 워터마킹 방법들이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 워터마킹의 기본 원리를 살펴보고, 삼각형 스트립(triangle strip)을 이용한 삼차원 모델에 대한 연성 워터마킹 (fragile watermarking) 방법을 제안한다. 사용자 키(key) 값으로 생성된 이진 무작위 시퀀스는 배타적 논리합(exclusive OR) 연산을 통해 이진 워터마크 시퀀스와 결합한 후, 꼭지점 좌표(vertex coordinates)를 변동시켜 삼각형 스트립에 삽입된다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해, 제안한 워터마킹 방법이 무작위 잡음 첨가(additive random noise), 이동, 회전, 비례 축소(scaling), 폴리곤 간략화(polygon simplification), 기하 정보 압축 (geometry compression) 등과 같은 삼차원 모델에 대한 다양한 공격을 검출할 수 있으며 변조된 위치를 표시할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

With the advancement of the digital broadcasting and popularity of the Internet, recently, many studies are making on the digital watermarking for the copyright protection of digital data. This paper proposes the minimum modification method of motion vector to minimize the degradation of video quality, hiding subtitles of many language and information of OST(original sound track), character profiles, etc. as well as the copyright protection. Our proposed algorithm extracts feature vector by comparing motion vector data with watermark data, and minimize the modification of motion vectors by deciding the inversion of bit. Thus the degradation of video quality is minimized comparing to conventional algorithms. This algorithm also can check data integrity, and retrieve embedded hidden data simply and blindly. And our proposed scheme can be useful for conventional MPEG-1, -2 standards without any increment of bit rate in the compressed video domain. The experimental result shows that the proposed scheme obtains better video quality than other previous algorithms by about $0.5{\sim}1.5dB$.

In this paper, the digital watermarking algorithm is proposed using CDMA technique for protection of the mobile contents in the mobile environment. The digital watermarking was designed to robust the errors in the mobile environment where pathloss, multipath fading, interference, and noise exist. In case of the multimedia content service in the mobile environment, the construction method of the watermark, the algorithm of insertion and detection are also proposed. The watermark consists of the information of the mobile user. Invisibility and robustness required in watermarking are etimated. It is observed that PSNR of the mobile content inserted the watermark is 90.31 dB, and the signal processing and noise attack are also robust. Especially, because random noise occurs in wireless transmission can overcome, the proposed watermarking algorithm is adequate for protection of the multimedia contents in the mobile environment.

본 논문에서는 디지털콘텐츠 식별자 연계 표준인 UCI 정보를 이용하여 효율적인 디지털 콘텐츠의 관리가 가능한 무손실 비디오 워터마킹 기법을 이용하였다. 제안한 기법은 각 비디오 프레임의 히스토그램의 특정 구간의 화소값을 수정함으로써 워터마크를 삽입한다. 4CIF 크기의 테스트 시퀀스를 통한 실험결과 화질의 열화가 적으면서도 UCI 정보를 100% 왜곡없이 검출이 가능하였으며, 원본 디지털 비디오 콘텐츠도 모든 테스트 시퀀스에서 100% 복원이 가능하였다. 제안한 기법은 디지털 비디오에 UCI 정보를 직접 삽입하여 메타데이터가 없을 경우 콘텐츠만으로도 콘텐츠의 식별이 가능하고 콘텐츠로부터 추출한 UCI 정보를 통하여 효율적인 관리가 가능하면서 유사시 원본 콘텐츠를 손실없이 복원이 가능할 수 있어 영화, 방송 등의 다양한 비디오 콘텐츠의 관리를 위해 응용될 수 있다.

Traditional watermarking technologies are symmetric method which embedding and detection keys are the same. Although the symmetric watermarking method is easy to detect the watermark, this method has weakness against to malicious attacks remove or modify the watermark information when the symmetric key is disclosure. Recently, the asymmetric watermarking method that has different keys to embed and detect is watched by several researchers as a next generation watermarking technology. In this paper, hybrid asymmetric watermarking algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is composed of correlation detection method and critical criteria method. Each method can be individually used to detect watermark from a watermarked content. Hybrid asymmetric detection is complement between two methods, and more feasible than when each method is used respectively, Private key and public key are generated by secure linear transformation and specific matrix. As a result, we have proved the proposed algorithm is secured than symmetric watermarking algorithms. This algorithm can expand to multi bits embedding watermark system and is robust to JPEG and JPEG2000 compression.

DNA computing technology makes the interests on DNA storage and DNA watermarking / steganography that use the DNA information as a newly medium. DNA watermarking that embeds the external watermark into DNA information without the biological mutation needs the reversibility for the perfect recovery of host DNA, the continuous embedding and detecting processing, and the mutation analysis by the watermark. In this paper, we propose a reversible DNA watermarking based on circular histogram shifting of DNA code values with the prevention of false start codon, the preservation of DNA sequence length, and the high watermark capacity, and the blind detection. Our method has the following features. The first is to encode nucleotide bases of 4-character variable to integer code values by code order. It makes the signal processing of DNA sequence easy. The second is to embed the multiple bits of watermark into -order coded value by using circular histogram shifting. The third is to check the possibility of false start codon in the inter or intra code values. Experimental results verified the our method has higher watermark capacity 0.11~0.50 bpn than conventional methods and also the false start codon has not happened in our method.

A wavelet-based image watermarking scheme is proposed, based on the insertion of pseudo-random codes in the frequency domain. The original image is required for the watermark detection. The "strength" of the signature to be embedded depends on the image to be marked, thus fitting signal capacity. The experimental results prove that the method is more tamper resistant and less perceptible for any type of images than other well-known private methods in the frequency domains.

Reversible watermarking inserts watermark into digital media in such a way that visual transparency is preserved and then enables to restore the original media from the marked one without any loss of media quality. This watermarking can be applied to quality-sensitive imaging such as medical imaging, military imaging, remote-sensing imaging, and precious artwork, where the original media should be preserved during image processing and analysis. In this paper, a reversible image watermarking technique that embeds message bits by modifying the differential histogram of adjacent pixels is presented. In order to satisfy both high embedding capacity and visual quality, the proposed technique exploits the fact that adjacent pixels in the image have highly spatial correlation. Also, we prevent overflow/underflow problem and salt-and-pepper artifacts by employing a predicted error compensation scheme. Through experiments using various test images, we prove that the presented technique provides perfect reversibility and high embedding capacity, while maintaining the induced-distortion low.
