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.

The wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. Objective quality assessment methods currently used Peak signal to noise Ratio(PSNR). But that is not very well matched to perceived visual quality. So new image quality assessment is required. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. In addition we evaluated compression image quality using PSNR and SSIM. Finally contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours and SSIM is good method for image evaluation compared to PSNR.

Because of the rapid growth of Internet and multimedia applications, how to protect IPR (intellectual property rights) has become a critical issue. Is one of the ways to overcome the problem of the protection of IPR. Digital watermarking call be applied to multimedia data, such as digital images, digital video, and digital audio. In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking technique for digital images to authenticate an owner or an image by embedding visually recognizable patterns, such as logos, signatures, or stamps into images In BDCT (block discrete cosine transform) frequency domain. The proposed method sorts the components of an original image twice. At the same time, the method, also, rearranges the components of a watermark twice in order to be more robust, and finally embeds the watermark into the image. From the experimental results, the conjunction of three similarity measurements shows that our proposed method is robust to image cropping, image filtering, and JPEG (the Joint Photographic Experts Group) both subjectively and objectively.

The proposed scheme provides a scheme to preview the whole image contents of low quality JPEG coded image without license and to select image quality as required. Therefore, users can confirm the image contents from low quality image without paying for previewing it and then, can see the best quality image by paying for the additional qualify of the image. The proposed scheme in this paper can be able to provide quality graded services as requested as well as protecting environment of intellectual property of digital contents.

This paper is proposed a wavelet-based MCDT(Mask Coefficient Differential and Threshold) method of image registration of Multi-images contaminated with visible image and infrared image. The method for ensure reliability of the image registration is to the increase statistical corelation as getting the common feature points between two images. The method of threshold the wavelet coefficients using derivatives of the wavelet coefficients of the detail subbands was proposed to effectively registration images with distortion. And it can define that the edge map. Particularly, in order to increase statistical corelation the method of the normalized mutual information. as similarity measure common feature between two images was selected. The proposed method is totally verified by comparing with the several other multi-image and the proposed image registration.

오늘날 하드웨어의 발전으로 인해 영상 해상도는 FHD를 넘어 4K UHD 이상의 영상 해상도가 사용화되고 있다. 하지만 Edge Map을 만들기 위해 일반적으로 사용하는 함수들은 Convolution 함수 일종으로서 영상의 해상도가 높을수록 더 많은 Complexity를 요구한다. 또한 현재 주요 영상 압축 기술인 JPEG, H.264/AVC High efficiency video coding(HEVC)같은 기법들은 자연 영상을 중점으로 개발되어 있어 Edge map 압축에 있어 자연 영상만큼의 효율을 보여주지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 원 영상을 Down Scaling한 뒤 이미지를 다시 원래 사이즈로 Up Scaling하여 두 영상의 차를 이용한 Edge Map을 생성하는 새로운 방법을 소개한다. 생성된 Edge Map의 특성인 Histogram 값의 분포가 0을 중심으로 Gaussian 분포를 가지는 것을 이용한 Zero Based 코덱을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 고 해상도 영상에서도 빠르게 Edge Map을 생성하고 제안한 코덱을 통해 해당 Edge map을 압축한 결과 다른 압축 기술보다 더 뛰어난 성능을 보여주었다.

This paper presents a watermarking algorithm for embedding visually recognizable pattern (Mark, Logo, Symbol, stamping or signature) into the image. first, the color image(RGB model)is transformed in YCbCr model and then the Y component is transformed into 3-level wavelet transform. Next, the values are assembled with pattern watermark. PN(pseudo noise) code at spread spectrum communication method and mutilevel watermark weights. This values are inserted into discrete wavelet domain. In our scheme, new calculating method is designed to calculate wavelet transform with integer value in considering the quantization error. and we used the color conversion with fixed-point arithmetic to be easy to make the hardware hereafter. Also, we made the new solution using mutilevel threshold to robust to common signal distortions and malicious attack, and to enhance quality of image in considering the human visual system. the experimental results showed that the proposed watermarking algorithm was superior to other similar water marking algorithm. We showed what it was robust to common signal processing and geometric transform such as brightness. contrast, filtering. scaling. JPEG lossy compression and geometric deformation.

In this paper we propose a new watermarking scheme using a data matrix and a cryptograph key. The data matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code. And a cryptograph key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded the copyright information into a data matrix bar code, and it was spread as a pseudo random pattern using the owner key. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good quality and is robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression, filtering and resizing. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from the watermark.

This paper's purpose is to obtain 3-Dimension information by using a monocular camera. This system embodies to obtain the height of object by using trigonometry method between a reference point of circumstance and an object. It is possible to build up system regardless of operating system, and then set it up. An comfortable USB port camera is used everywhere without the capture board. The internet can be used by using the applet and JMF everywhere. We regard the camera as a fixed. And we have developed a Real-Time JPEG/RTP Network Camera system using UDP/IP on Ethernet.

본 논문에서는 디지털 영상 컨텐츠의 저작권 보호를 위해 DWT 를 이용하여 강인성(robustness), 비가시성(invisibility), 보안성(security)을 만족하는 blind 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 영상정보에 대한 변화를 원본 영상의 특정 부분에 국한하지 않게 하기 위해서, 특정 주파수 성분에 워터마크를 삽입하는 것이 아닌 전체 영상에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법이다. 이 방법에서 저작권에 대한 판단은 추출한 워터마크 정보를 통합 판단하는 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법은 저작권 보호를 위해 원본 영상을 보관할 필요가 없으며, Gaussian filtering, average filtering, sharpening 의 영상 필터링, JPEG 손실 영상 압축, resizing, 영상 품질 향상을 위한 Contrast 나 histogram equalization 등의 공격에 충분한 강인성을 보여준다.
