In this paper, we classify various attacks that may damage the embedded watermark signal into waveform attack and synchronization attack. And for the specialized defense against the two kinds of attacks we propose a new watermarking scheme named as two layer watermarking method. It consists of a synchronization layer to prepare for the geometrical attack such as rotation and shift and a marking layer 0 embed the watermark signal actually. Namely, the synchronization layer only determines the target region where the watermark signal will be embedded or extracted. And the marking layer spreads the watermark signal over the image as the conventional watermarking methods do. Using the layered structure, the proposed method overcomes the problem that the conventional watermarking methods that do not use the original image at the verification side are most vulnerable to geometrical attacks.

In this paper, we present a layered watermarking technique for digital audio data that is capable of detecting timing change and adapting complexity in detection. The proposed watermarking uses echo hiding as the first layer, which enables the detector to estimate linear speed change. The spread spectrum watermark is then inserted in the second layer which includes additional information like copyright data. We use two kinds of sequences in the second layer, one of which is for synchronization and the other is for data. The results of previous layer are used to make estimate of timing change in the next layer. The detector in the presented method can select detecting range form the first layer to the first layer, second pre-layer, or second main-layer due to the required system specification. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking technique is robust to several processing attacks including timing change.

Robust reversible watermarking has attracted widespread attention in the field of information hiding in recent years. It should not only have robustness against attacks in transmission but also meet the reversibility of distortion-free transmission. According to our best knowledge, the most recent robust reversible watermarking methods adopt a single image as the carrier, which might lead to low efficiency in terms of carrier utilization. To address the issue, a novel dual-image robust reversible watermarking framework is proposed in this paper to effectively utilize the correlation between both carriers (namely dual images) and thus improve the efficiency of carrier utilization. In the dual-image robust reversible watermarking framework, a two-layer robust watermarking mechanism is designed to further improve the algorithm performances, i.e., embedding capacity and robustness. In addition, an optimization model is built to determine the parameters. Finally, the proposed framework is applied in different domains (namely domain-independent), i.e., Slantlet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition domain, and Zernike moments, respectively to demonstrate its effectiveness and generality. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed dual-image robust reversible watermarking framework.

Needs for copyright protection of multimedia content are getting increased because of the internet growth. In this paper, a new technology which protects the content copyright to provide different content services by user level using the digital watermarking technology was proposed. The service can be provided by two layers of a paid user and a free user. By the proposed method, the paid user can use the high quality content and the free user only can use the low quality content. The digital watermarking technology was used to hide information to be able to improve the content quality.

This paper proposes a watermarking scheme for 3D CAD design drawing. In the proposed scheme, we embed binary watermarks into line, arc, and polygon face components that are the basic component of 3D CAD design drawing. The embedding target component can be selected randomly among three components or by the component distribution in drawing. In line components, a watermark bit is embedded into the ratio of the length of a target line and an average length of lines that are connected into a target line. Furthermore, a watermark bit is embedded into a curvature radius on the basis of a center point in a arc component and also is embedded into a ratio of two sides in a polygonal face component. Experimental results verified that the proposed watermarking has the robustness against Format conversion, rotation translation, scaling, cropping, and layer cutting and also SNR of watermarked component is about 39.89-42.50 dB.
