In this paper, we propose and design a new 0.264/AVC watermarking algorithm for protection of copyright by inserting a watermark after quantization. This invisible watermarking algorithm insets a watermark into chrominance components of I frame such that we can avoid degradation of original images. According to test results we could limit image degradation by 1dB, avoid bit rate increment within 2% and increase processing time by only 2%. The IP is designed by Hynix 0.25 micron technology and the maximum operating frequency of 115MHz is achieved. The PSNR of the embedded watermark is about 35dB according to the test result.

전자정부, 전자상거래의 활성화로 디지털 문서가 빠른 속도로 유통되고 있기에 이에 대한 효과적인 보호대척이 필요한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Window Pattern을 이용하여 문서 이미지에 저작권 정보를 삽입하는 방안을 제안한다. 삽입대상 Window Patte을 결정하고 이러한 Pattern으로 원본 영상을 Scan하면서 픽셀 값에 변화를 주게 된다. 이렇게 되어 하나의 Pattern에 1 bit의 정보의 삽입이 가능하게 되고 추출 시 원본은 필요로 하지 않으며 실용성이 높고 적용분야도 넓다.

In this paper, we design and implement watermarking system which create, insert and detect watermark comprised of number or logo to protect copyright and to prevent illegal plagiarism through inserting copyrighting information of owner into the original image. In the proposed system, the number or logo as watermark is selectively inserted according to characteristics of the original contents or requirement of copyrighter. The system also has convenient user interface which general administrator who hasn't expert knowledge for the protection of copyright uses easily. Ownership and copyright protection using digital watermarking technology intensifies creating volition of clients who want to create contents such as cultural contents, Thus, we can expect increasing requests for creating contents such as cultural contents.

Digital image manipulation software is now readily available on personal computers. It is therefore very simple to tamper with any image and make it available to others. Therefore. copyright protection of digital contents and insurance of digital image integrity become major issues. In this paper, we propose a hybrid watermarking method to identify locations of tampered region as well as copyright. Our proposed algorithms embed the PN-sequence into low frequency sub-band of the wavelet transform domain and it doesn't need the original image in extraction procedure. The experimental results show good robustness against any signal processing with tamper detection on still image.

Digital watermarking is to embed imperceptible mark into image, video, audio, and text data to prevent the illegal copy of multimedia data. arbitrary modification, and also illegal sales of the copies without agreement of copyright ownership. In this paper, we study for the embedding and extraction of watermark key using wavelet in the luminance signal in order to implement the system to protect the copyright for image MPEG. First, the original image is analyzed into frequency domain by discrete wavelet transform. The RSA(Rivest, Shamir, Aldeman) public key of the coded target is RUN parameter of VLD(variable length coding). Because the high relationship among the adjacent RUN parameters effect the whole image, it prevents non-authorizer not to possess private key from behaving illegally. The Results show that the proposed method provides better moving picture and the distortion more key of insert than direct coded method on low-frequency domain based DCT.

The emergence of digital imaging and digital networks has made duplication of original artwork easier. In order to protect these creations, new methods for signing and copyrighting visual data are needed. In the last few years, a large number of schemes have heen proposed for hiding copyright marks and other information in digital image, video, audio and other multimedia objects. In this paper, we propose a technique for embedding the watermark of visually recognizable patterns into the frequency domain of images. The embedded watermark can be retrieved from the decoded sequence witbout knowledge of the original. Because the source image is not required to extract the watermark, one cannot make the fake original that is invertible to watermarking scheme from the waternlarked image. In order to recover the embedded signature data without knowledge of the original, a prediction of the original value of the pixel containing the information is needed. The prediction is based on a averaging of amplitude values in a neighborhood around the pixel itself. Additionally the projxJsed technique could survive several kinds of image processings including JPEG lossy compression.

Digital contents such as image need both secure proving and publicly verification scheme on embedded digital watermark for contents distribution and copyright protection. Specially, we must provide publicly verification mechanism on digital watermark without revealing any of the secret information hidden on digital contents. In this paper, we review on the existing zero knowledge proofs and digital watermarking system, and propose advanced interactive zero knowledge proofs mechanism for enhancing the performance and security of watermark verification process. And it Provides a new watermark verification scheme without revealing any secret on the contents owner's copyright in formation.

Recently, acgis of authentication and crcator's copyright has become a matter of great concern by the diffusion of multimedia technique and the growth of the internet and the easily duplicated property of digital data. Consequently, many active researches have been made to protect copyright and to assure integrity by inserting watermark into the digital data. In this paper, watermark is repealed through the entire image and adapted to the content of the image. Achieved by an underlying process of transforming the digital image to the frequency domain by wavelet transform, which has three (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) directions and Multi-resolution features, and then choosing frequency area inferior to the human perceptibility and significant for invisible and robust watermark. We realize wavelet based image watermarking using Machine Vision of LabVIEW.

This paper presents fragile watermark system using quantization and DC coefficients. It is a way to prevent the watermark fro, being detected if the original has been modified in any way. In other words, the detection of a watermark ca be said to be originality after the watermark is inserted, without any damage. Since lossy compression such as JPEG is often allowed or required in practical applications, authentication methods, authentication methods should be distinguished from malicious modifications such as image shifting, cropping, filtering, and replacement. The proposed algorithm implements a fragile watermarking algorithm that shows image authentication with JPEC compression and the watermark easily breaks other malicious variants.

In this paper, a spatial-based perceptual watermarking considering human visual system (HVS) that is proposed for small-size images such as internet shopping-mall image. In our method, a multi-bit data can be embedded in luminance component of color images still keeping the perceptual quality of image. Experimental results demonstrated that watermarks can be strongly embedded while preserving a good fidelity.
