Abstract

Multi-level has advantage to express image in all levels with different images. This paper proposes digital watermarking built-in technique to transform color image to YCbCr color space to guarantee robustness and imperceptibility of the watermark in the various expression of color images, and to hide multi-level data which shows spread spectrum from low resolution to whole resolution for the Y-signal of multi-level. In color signal, Y-signal and low resolution built-in watermark has risk to be visible, but it can guarantee the robustness of watermark in various colors and transformed images. As a result of the experiment, wavelet compression image with built-in watermark showed robustness and imperceptibility of watermark.

다중-레벨은 영상의 모든 레벨에서 서로 다른 영상으로 표현할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 다양한 컬러 영상의 표현에서 워터마크의 강인성와 무감지성을 보장하기 위해서 컬러 영상을 YCbCr 컬러 공간으로 변환하고, 다중-레벨의 Y-요소에 대해 저해상도로부터 전체 해상도로 대역 확산하는 다중-레벨 데이터 은닉을 위한 디지털 워터마킹 내장 기법을 제안한다. 컬러 신호에서 Y-신호와 저해상도의 워터마크 내장은 시각적으로 드러날 위험은 크지만 다양한 컬러와 영상의 변형에서 워터마크의 강인성을 보장할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 워터마크가 내장된 웨이브릿 압축 영상에서 워터마크의 강인성과 무감지성을 확인할 수 있었다.
