In this paper, we propose a highly secure watermarking technique in which the watermark is multi-encrypted using the R, G, and B component pixels of color image, and then the multi-encrypted watermark is hidden in the LSB of the color image pixel. According to the technique proposed in this paper, the quality of the stego-image created by hiding the multi-encrypted watermark in the LSB of the color image is so excellent that the difference from the cover image cannot be recognized. Also, it is possible to extract the original watermark from the stego-image without loss. If the watermark is hidden in the image using the proposed technique, the security of the watermark is maintained very well because the watermark hidden in the stego-image is multi-encrypted. The proposed watermarking technique can be used in the applications such as military and intellectual property protection requiring high security.

In this paper, we proposed a robust watermark scheme for image based on the discrete wavelet transform. In the first, we use the triplet method for embedding and extraction of watermark. Triplet method uses relationship among the discrete wavelet coefficients at the same position in the three detail subband of image. In the second, we use barcode Pattern Image for watermark scheme. By using barcode Pattern Images, a user is able to make many kinds of own watermark. In the third, the proposed method for image watermark provides the invisiblility which the other user can not discriminate watermark from watermarked image. The advantage of the proposed method is visibility when we extracted watermark from the image. The corresponding experimental results show that the proposed method has performance of a robustness from the noise attack.

본 논문에서는 다중으로 암호화한 워터마크를 영상 픽셀의 LSB에 은닉하여 워터마크의 보안성을 크게 향상시키는 효과적인 기법을 제안하였다. 영상 픽셀의 LSB에 은닉되어 있는 다중 암호화된 워터마크를 추출하여도 이를 해독하는 것이 불가능하기 때문에 워터마크의 보안성이 매우 높게 유지된다. 제안된 기법을 사용하여 워터마크를 다중으로 암호화하여 영상에 은닉하면, 워터마크가 은닉된 영상의 시각적 화질이 매우 높아 원본 영상과 워터마크가 은닉된 결과 영상의 구별이 불가능하다. 워터마크를 다중으로 암호화하여 원본 영상에 은닉한 결과 영상으로부터, 제안 기법의 절차를 따라 원본 워터마크 데이터를 손실 없이 온전히 추출할 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 수학적으로 분석하고 제안된 기법의 우수성을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 기법에 비하여 영상에 은닉된 워터마크의 보안성을 크게 향상시킨 우수한 영상 워터마킹 기법이다.

In this paper, an implementation method of the efficient image transmission stage using watermarking and channel ceding is proposed. Usually, image communication system consists of both a transmitter part and a receiver part. The transmitter part takes charge of copyright protection of the generated image data, and image coding and compression that can deal with channel noises when transmitting. In the transmitter part, we propose a channel coding method which protects both the watermark signal and the original signal for protecting the copyright of image data and solving channel noises when transmitting. Firstly, copyright protection of image data is conducted. For this, image structure analysis is performed, and both the improvement of image quality and the generation of the watermark signal are made. Then, the histogram is constructed and the watermark signals are selected from this. At this stage, by embedding of the coefficients of curve fittness into the lower 4 bits of the image data pixels, image quality degradation due to the embedding of watermark signals are prevented. Finally, turbo coding, which has the most efficient error correction capability in error correction codes, has been conducted to protect signals of watermark and preserved original image quality against noises on the transmission channel. Particularly, a new interleaving method named "semi random inter]easer" has been proposed.

We propose a new watermarking scheme that can be used to embed multiple bits and also resilient to JPEG compression and geometrical transforms such as scaling, rotation, and cropping, based on off-axis holographic watermark that allows multiple watermark recovery without original content(cover image). The holographic watermark is that Fourier transformed digital hologram is embedded into cover image in the spatial domain. The proposed method has not only increased robustness with a stronger embedding but also imperceptibility of the watermark in the evaluation process.

In this paper, we proposed a robust watermark scheme for image based on SVD(Singular Value Transform) and Triplet. First, the original image is decomposed by using 3-level DWT, and then used the singular values changed for embedding and extracting of the watermark sequence in LL3 band. Since the matrix of singular values is not easily altered with various signal processing noises, the embedded watermark sequence has the ability to withstand various signal processing noise attacks. Nevertheless, this method does not guarantee geometric transformation(such as rotation, cropping, etc.) because the geometric transformation changes the matrix size. In this case, the watermark sequence cannot be extracted. To compensate for the above weaknesses, a method which uses the triplet for embedding a barcode image watermark in the middle of frequency band is proposed. In order to generate the barcode image watermark, the pattern of the watermark sequence embedded in a LL3 band is used. According to this method, the watermark information can be extracted from attacked images.

To effectively track the illegal use of digital images and maintain the security of digital image communication on the Internet, this paper proposes a reversible multipurpose image watermarking algorithm based on a deep residual network (ResNet) and perceptual hashing (also called MWR). The algorithm first combines perceptual image hashing to generate a digital fingerprint that depends on the user's identity information and image characteristics. Then it embeds the removable visible watermark and digital fingerprint in two different regions of the orthogonal separation of the image. The embedding strength of the digital fingerprint is computed using ResNet. Because of the embedding of the removable visible watermark, the conflict between the copyright notice and the user's browsing is balanced. Moreover, image authentication and traitor tracking are realized through digital fingerprint insertion. The experiments show that the scheme has good visual transparency and watermark visibility. The use of chaotic mapping in the visible watermark insertion process enhances the security of the multipurpose watermark scheme, and unauthorized users without correct keys cannot effectively remove the visible watermark.

In this paper, we propose a describes how to detect a false iris image by inserting watermark into a iris image. The existing method, which inserts the watermark into the entire iris image to detect a fake iris, has a problem that can evade it by segmenting iris region of an iris image. The purpose of overcoming the problem, this paper proposes a new fake iris detection technique based on digital watermark. It first searches a central point of an iris image, divide the image into blocks with respect to the point. executes Discrete Cosine Transform, inserts watermark into the blocks, and then verifies an iris image using NC(Normalized Correlation). In the experiments, we confirm the robustness for attacks - crop and JPEG.

본 논문에서는 공간적 암호화를 사용하여 영상에 소유권 정보인 워터마크를 영상 픽셀의 LSB에 안전하게 은닉하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 워터마킹 기법은 영상의 지적재산권 보호에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 제안된 기법을 사용하여 공간적으로 암호화된 워터마크를 은닉한 영상인 스테고 이미지로부터 워터마크를 손실 없이 추출할 수 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 우수성을 확인하였다. 제안된 기법을 적용하여 워터마킹을 수행한 결과 영상인 스테고 이미지의 화질은 51dB이상으로 사람이 육안으로 워터마크의 존재여부를 인식할 수 없으며, 워터마크가 공간적으로 암호화되어 있기 때문에 워터마크의 보안성이 우수하다.
