Zero-watermarking is a digital watermarking technique that can escape from data distortion and quality degradation by no watermark insertion into digital images to be watermarked. This paper proposes DCT0CRT, a CRT-based zero-watermarking technique in the domain of DCT. One of the DC and low-frequency AC coefficients of each DCT block chosen in chaotic way from an image is selected by testing whether it satisfies the CRT-based condition matching with the watermark bit to be embedded. Such selection information forms a key to extract the watermark from the watermarked image. Experimental results show that the image quality watermarked by DCT0CRT is better than that watermarked by any other CRT-based watermarking techniques and the inserted watermark is robust against some common attacks such as sharpening, blurring, and JPEG lossy compression.

In this Paper. we Propose a digital watermarking scheme for digital images based on a perceptual model, the frequency masking, texture making, and luminance masking Properties of the human visual system(HVS), which have been developed in the context of image compression. We embed two types of watermark, one is pseudo random(PN) sequences, the other is a logo image. To embed the watermarks, original images are decomposed into $8\times8$ blocks, and the discrete cosine transform(DCT) is carried out for each block. Watermarks are casted in the low frequency components of DCT coefficients. The perceptual model adjusts adaptively scaling factors embedding watermarks according to the local image properties. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme presents better results than that of non-perceptual watermarking methods for image qualify without loss of robustness.

Fragile 워터마킹은 이미지의 무결성을 보장하기 위하여 원본 이미지에 사람이 지각할 수 없는 데이터를 삽입하는 것을 말한다. 본 논문은 이진 데이터의 삽입이 가능하며, 원본 이미지와 삽입된 데이터의 무결성이 보장되는 fragile 워터마킹의 한 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 방법은 hash 함수와 PRBG(pseudo random bit generator)를 이용한 one-time pad를 사용하며, 한 pixel당 약 2.8125bits의 정보를 저장할 수 있다.

Digital watermarking is a technique embedding hidden information into multimedia data imperceptibly such as images and sounds. Generally an original image is transformed and coded watermark data is embedded in frequency domain watermarking models. In this paper, We propose a new data embedding method using Fresnel transform. A watermark image is fresnel-transformed and the intensity of transformed pattern is embedded into original image. Our watermarking model has the flexibility In data embedding. It is possible to get many embedding patterns from a single watermark image by using various distance parameters with Fresnel transform. All kinds of image models such af shape, letter and photo ran be used as a watermark data. The watermarking experiments were conducted to show the validity of the proposed method, and the results show that our method has the robustness against lossy compression, filtering and geometric transformation.

We analyzed about digital watermarking embedded transmission of still image in wireless multimedia communication environment. Also, we proposed improved watermark techniques. It effects that get in original image than method to use conventional image is less and shows robust watermark restoration ability from outside attack. Performance analysis achieved about still image and restoration of watermark information using OFDM/QPSK still image transmission system in wireless channel environment. Analysis result, VI watermark performance that influence in original image is very small. And it could know that show high restoration performance. Also, It showed superior copyright information extraction performance than image watermark in wireless channel environment of same transmission error condition.

This study introduces a technology utilizing digital images as electronic money by inserting watermark into the images. Watermarking technology assign contents ID to images and inserts the contents ID into the images in an unnoticeable way. The server that manages the issue and the usage of mage electronic money (called ‘WaterCash’ hereafter) stores issued contents ID to database and manage them as electronic money. WaterCash guarantees anonymity and prevents the forgery and modification of WaterCash based on semi-fragile watermarking technique. In addition, WaterCash is transferable and the illegal use of WaterCash can be prevented based on the watermarking technology. The watermarking .technology used in this paper was designed to be robust to image compression but vulnerable to intentional or non-intentional Image processing.

본 논문에서는 기존의 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)를 이용한 디지털 워터마킹 방법을 개선하여 비가시성을 향상시키는 DCT 기반의 디지털 워터마킹 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이에 원 영상을 DCT 변환한 영역에 워터마크로 사용할 이미지를 이진화하여 얻은 픽셀 값을 기준으로 워터마크를 삽입하고자 한다. 삽입 할 워터마크는 식별하기 어려운 의사난수를 사용하지 않고 가시적으로 인지할 수 있는 문자(서명) 혹은 도장으로 구성된 이진 영상을 사용한다. 이 방법의 강인성 평가를 위해 워터마크가 삽입된 영상을 대상으로 영상처리를 수행하지 않은 경우, JPEG 영상압축, cropping, 필터링, 밝기 조절 및 대비 확장 등 기본적인 영상처리 알고리즘을 적용한 후 워터마크를 검출하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법의 워터마킹 영상은 기존 방법에 비하여 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 화질이 비교적 우수하였으며 검출된 워터마크의 시각적인 인지도가 높아 가시적 효율성이 뛰어남을 검증하였다. 최종적으로, 실험에 의해 제안한 방법의 유용성을 입증하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a reversible watermarking method to recover an original image after the watermark has been extracted. Most watermarking algorithms cause degradation of image quality in original digital content in the process of embedding watermark. In the proposed algorithm, the original image can be obtained when the degradation is removed from the watermarked image after extracting watermark information. In the proposed method, we utilize histogram shifting concept and Location Map structure. We could solve the Filp-Flop problem by using Location Map structure and enlarge the information embedding capacity by embedding recursively. Experimental results demonstrate that the embedding information as large as 120k bits can be realized while the invisibility as high as 41dB can be maintained.
