In this paper, we present a novel digital watermarking technique based on the concept of multiresolution decomposition and Human Visual System(HVS). Proposed watermarking is to embed watermark by quantization, that is to construct ‘perceptually lossless’quantization matrix, by using a quantization factor for each level and orientation and variance within a band. We compare our approach with another wavelet domain watermarking methods. Simulation results show the superior performance of robustness for variety image distortions.

In this paper, we proposed robust digital image watermarking based on modulation transfer function (MTF) of human visual system (HVS). Using the proposed method, robust watermarking is possible both in common image processing operations such as cropping and lossy compression and in geometrical transforms such as rotation, scaling, and translation, because it can embed watermark and template signal maximally using MTF of HVS. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is more robust to several common image processing operations and geometrical transforms.

This paper presents a verification watermarking applied to healthcare information management. The proposed method uses the whole region based on the public-key cryptograph, which is transformed by the DWT transform to integrity verification. Furthermore, the public-key cryptograph algorithm is used for the embedded watermark image. We adaptively select the upper bit-plane including the LSB parts of each block when the watermark is inserted.

디지털 워터마킹(Digital Watermarking)은 디지털 영상에 저작권을 증명할 수 있는 정보를 삽입하는 방법으로써 영상의 화질 저하를 최소화하면서 저작권 신호 추출의 정확도를 최대화하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈(Fractal) 영상 압축에서 변환 함수의 계수를 디지털 워터마킹 키(Key)에 따라 제한하여 디지털 워터마킹(Digital Watermarking) 신호를 삽입하는 방법을 제한한다. 본 방법은 탐색 범위 제한에 의한 기존의 프랙탈(Fractal) 기반 디지털 위터마킹(Digital Watermarking) 방법보다 영상 변형에 강인하고 화질의 저하를 완화하는 장점을 가진다.

Watermarking is one of the methods that insist on a copyright as it append digital signals in digital informations.(image, video, ets) In this paper, we proposed a digital watermarking algorithm which improved Gradient of DCT Coefficient. This method targets MPEG-2 TM5 system and watermarking process is to be performed during Quantization DCT. Watermark was inserted on Y components of each frames. The PSNR difference between the compressed images with and without watermarking was only 0..23dB. In each case that the resulting image was reusable the normalized correlation between the extracted watermark and the original one was above 0.99.

Digital watermarking has gained importance in recent years in copyright protection and multimedia. This paper proposes a secure and novel watermarking system based on complemented Maximum Length Cellular Automata (MLCA) and Two-Dimension Cellular Automata Transform (2D CAT). In this watermarking scheme, the original watermark is first encrypted by complemented MLCA with the private keys, and then the encrypted watermark is embedded into the CAT domain of the cover image, at last use the inverse CAT for the transformed image, the watermarked image is obtained. Experiment results show that this new method is more secure and provides robust performance against watermarking attacks.

In this paper, we propose a robust digital copyright-protection technique based on the concept of human auditory system. First, we propose a watermarking technique that accepts the various attacks such as, time scaling, pitch shift, add noise and a lot of lossy compression such as MP3, AAC WMA. Second, we implement audio PD(portable device) for copyright protection using proposed method. The proposed watermarking technique is developed using digital filtering technique. Being designed according to critical band of HAS(human auditory system), the digital filers embed watermark without nearly affecting audio quality. Before processing of digital filtering, wavelet transform decomposes the input audio signal into several signals that are composed of specific frequencies. Then, we embed watermark in the decomposed signal (0kHz~11kHz) by designed band-stop digital filer. Watermarking detection algorithm is implemented on audio PD(portable device). Proposed watermarking technology embeds 2bits information per 15 seconds. If PD detects watermark '11', which means illegal song. PD displays "Illegal Song" message on LCD, skips the song and plays the next song, The implemented detection algorithm in PD requires 19 MHz computational power, 7.9kBytes ROM and 10kBytes RAM. The suggested technique satisfies SDMI(secure digital music initiative) requirements of platform3 based on ARM9E core.

In this paper, we proposed a blind watermarking algorithm to apply to the rapid prototyping system. The 3D mesh model is used in the step of the CAD modeling before the making of the prototype system of the rapid prototyping system. STL type mesh modeling which is used in this system reduces the error of the system and improves the accuracy of the system. In the step of the CAD modeling, some transformations which do not change the model accuracy are used, but some transformations which change the model accuracy are not used because the mesh model error is related to the accuracy of the prototype system. Most watermarking algorithms embedded a specific random noise as the watermark information into the model. These kinds of the algorithms are not proper to the 3D model watermarking. The proposed algorithm can be used for the accurate prototyping system because it does not change the model after the watermark embedding This means it can be used for the copyright marking and the data integrity.

Performance of digital video watermarking is an assessment that hides a lot of information in digital videos. Therefore, it is required to find a way that enables to store lots of bits of data into a high quality video of the frequency area of digital contents. Hence, this paper designs a watermarking system improving security with an enhancing watermarking based on invisible watermarking and embedding an watermarking on LH and HL subband and its subband by transforming wavelet after the extraction of luminance component from the frames of video by compromising robustness and invisible of watermarking elements. The performance analysis of security of watermarking is carried out with a statistic method, and makes an assessment of robustness against variety of attacks to invisible watermarking. We can verify the security of watermarking against variety of attacks by testing robustness and invisible through carrying out general signal processing like noise addition, lossy compression, and Low-Pass filtering.

In this paper, we propose additional data transmission system for spectrum efficiency improvement and derive channel capacity formula as a approximated closed-form. Spread spectrum watermarking scheme is selected for the watermarking embedder. Nakagami-q (Hoyt) model is considered as a multipath fading channel. Numerical results show the channel capacity variation of the proposed system in wireless fading channel. From the results, we confirm that the channel capacity of the watermarking system is affected by the fading coefficient and system parameters such that host sampling frequency, host-to-watermark ratio, watermark-to-noise ratio, and PN sequence length.
