The system includes the key for watermark extraction and the host image. The algorithm splits the original image into blocks and classifies these blocks based on visual masking, that is, noise visibility function (NVF). Watermark components with different strength are inserted into chosen direct current components of DCT coefficients according to the classifier. The watermark extraction is based on the characteristic of the statistic independence of the host image, watermark and key. Principle component analysis (PCA) whitening process and FastICA techniques are introduced to ensure a blind watermark extraction without requiring the original image. Experirnental results show the proposed technique is robust under attacks such as image filtering and adding noise, cropping and resizing. In addition, the proposed private watermarking system can be improved to the application of the DTV content protection system.展开更多

Under this situation, a transparent system based on watermark for digital right management and digital copyright protection is proposed in this paper. The transparent system is called WDRM (watermark-based digital rights management) and transparent to users. Its core is WDRM Agent. In this paper, system inner model and procession are designed in detail at first, including the registration, the downloading, the super distribution, and the cooperation. Because the watermark embedding and the extraction algorithms are the kernel in this architecture, we also discuss how to choose and design the algorithms. Then we establish a package for all algorithms in WDRM Agent.展开更多

A method is used to protect the image, in which features are drawn out from the image as the watermarking. The main steps of the method are presented. Firstly, some low-order moment invariants of the image are extracted. Secondly, the moment invariants and the key are registered to a fair third party to gain the timestamp. Finally, the timestamp can be used to prove who the real owner is. The processing method is simple, only with a few low-order moment invariants to be computed. Experimental results are obtained and compared with those of the method based on geometric moment invariants. Results show that the scheme can well withstand such geometrical attacks as rotating, scaling, cropping, combined attack, translating, removing lines, filtering, and JPEG lossy compression.展开更多

Like other digital products, electronic charts are easy to duplicate and distribute. Some watermarking solutions have proven defective to prevent copying of electronic charts because it’s as easy to forge as it is to redistribute. If the problems of copyright infringement cannot be solved, the creation of these electronic charts will be limited. The most important characteristic of electronic charts is the topological relationships among vertices, but few algorithms can control this feature. A new watermarking algorithm is here proposed as a means of copyright protection, in which the watermarks will be hosted in the electronic chart by taking into account the preservation of the topology. Sometimes, additional vertices are inserted into the middle of two adjacent vertices, sometimes not, which are governed by the value of the watermark. Experiments show that the improved algorithm is better than similar algorithms; it was found to resist geometric attacks and format exchange attacks.展开更多

After determining the number of the customers and the length of the watermark string, this method chooses some values inside the digital image using a characteristic function, and adds watermarks to these values in a way that can protect the product against the attacks happened by comparing two fingerprinted copies.The watermarks are a string of binary numbers -1s and 1s. Every customer will be distinguished by a series of 1s and -1s generated by a pseudo-random generator. The owner of the image can determine the number of customers and the length of the string as well as this method will add another watermarking values to watermark string to protect the product.展开更多

Driven by strong demand, digital image watermarking technology has aroused widespread research interest and has gradually developed into one of the most active research directions in information science. In this paper, we present a novel robust digital watermarking algorithm based on discrete radon transform tight frame in finite-set (FDRT). FDRT of the zero mean image is a tight frame, the frame boundary <em><strong>A</strong></em> = <em><strong>B</strong></em> = 1, the dual of the frame is itself. The decomposition and reconstruction of the FDRT tight frame will not cause the phenomenon of image distortion. The embedding of hidden watermark is to add a weak signal to the strong background of the original image. Watermark extraction is to effectively identify the embedded weak signal. The feasibility of the watermarking algorithm is analyzed from two aspects of information hiding and robustness. We select the independent Gaussian random vector as the watermark series, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) as the visual degradation criterion of the watermark image. Basing the FDRT compact stand dual operator, we derived the relationship among the strength parameter, square sum of watermark series, the PSNR. Using Checkmark system, the simulation results show that the algorithm is robust enough to some very important image processing attacks such as lossy compression, MAP, filtering, segmentation, edge enhancement, jitter, quadratic modulation and general geometric attack (scaling, rotation, shearing), etc. </div>展开更多
