To effectively track the illegal use of digital images and maintain the security of digital image communication on the Internet, this paper proposes a reversible multipurpose image watermarking algorithm based on a deep residual network (ResNet) and perceptual hashing (also called MWR). The algorithm first combines perceptual image hashing to generate a digital fingerprint that depends on the user's identity information and image characteristics. Then it embeds the removable visible watermark and digital fingerprint in two different regions of the orthogonal separation of the image. The embedding strength of the digital fingerprint is computed using ResNet. Because of the embedding of the removable visible watermark, the conflict between the copyright notice and the user's browsing is balanced. Moreover, image authentication and traitor tracking are realized through digital fingerprint insertion. The experiments show that the scheme has good visual transparency and watermark visibility. The use of chaotic mapping in the visible watermark insertion process enhances the security of the multipurpose watermark scheme, and unauthorized users without correct keys cannot effectively remove the visible watermark.

Even though algorithms for watermark embedding and extraction step are important issue for digital watermarking, watermark selection and post-processing can give us an opportunity to improve our algorithms and achieve higher performance. For this reason, we summarized the possibilities of improvements for digital watermarking by referring to the watermark merging techniques rather than embedding and extraction algorithms in this paper. We chose Cox's function as main embedding and extraction algorithm, and multiple barcode watermarks as a watermark. Each bit of the multiple copies of barcode watermark was embedded into a gray-scale image with Cox's embedding function. After extracting the numbers of watermark, we applied the watermark merging techniques; including the simple merging, N-step iterated merging, recover merging and combination of iterated-recover merging. Main consequence of our paper was the fact of finding out how multiple barcode watermarks and merging techniques can give us opportunities to improve the performance of algorithm.

디지털 워터마킹은 데이터 내부에 지각적으로 인식되지 않는 신호를 삽입하여 저작권을 보호하기 위한 방법으로 압축, 기하학적 변환, 크기변환 등의 공격도 영상 데이터가 견고한 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 방법을 중심으로 연구되어 왔으나 프린트 영상에 대하여 저작권을 보호하는 연구는 그다지 활발하지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 이진 프린트 영상에 워터마크를 삽입하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 영상을 디더링 한 후 $16\times{16}$ 크기의 블록에서 1(백화소)의 개수를 카운팅하고 카운팅 배열을 $2\times{2}$ 블록씩 나누어 워터마크 값에 따라 다르게 정의된 기준 블록 패턴과 비교함으로 워터마크를 삽입한다. 워터마크 정보는 '1' 과 '0'의 두 가지를 사용하여 동일한 워터마크 비트로 더 많은 정보를 표현할 수 있다. 워터마크 검출은 워터마크가 삽입된 영상과 기준 블록 패턴을 이용해 워터마크 정보를 재구성하고, 재구성된 워터마크와 디더 영상에 삽입된 원본의 워터마크 정보와 비교함으로 가능하다. 성능평가는 워터마크 삽입영상을 프린트 한 후 스캔하여 기존의 방법과 검출 성능을 비교하였다.

이미지와 같은 디지털 컨텐츠에 대한 저작권 보호 기능을 제공하기 위해서는 삽입된 워터마크에 대한 안전한 증명과 소유권에 대한 공개적인 검증 기술이 필요하다. 특히 워터마크된 컨텐츠에 비밀스럽게 은닉된 워터마크 정보에 대한 완전한 노출 없이도 증명하고자 하는 컨텐츠에 대한 소유권을 공개적으로 증명해 줄 수 있는 검증 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 영지식 증명 기법과 워터마킹 기법을 분석하였으며, 영지식 증명 기법을 디지털 워터마크 검증 구조에 적용하여, 워터마크에 대한 비밀정보 유출 없이도 소유권 및 저작권을 검증할 수 있는 영지식 기반 워터마크 검증 기법을 제시한다.

The limited computing power of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and data tampering during wireless transmission are two important issues. In this paper, we propose a scheme for independent individual authentication of WSNs data based on digital watermarking technology. Digital watermarking suits well for WSNs, owing to its lower computational cost. The proposed scheme uses independent individual to generate a digital watermark and embeds the watermark in current data item. Moreover, a sink node extracts the watermark in single data and compares it with the generated watermark, thereby achieving integrity verification of data. Inherently, individual validation differs from the grouping-level validation, and avoids the lack of grouping robustness. The improved performance of individual integrity verification based on proposed scheme is validated through experimental analysis. Lastly, compared to other state-of-the-art schemes, our proposed scheme significantly reduces the false negative rate by an average of 5%, the false positive rate by an average of 80% of data verification, and increases the correct verification rate by 50% on average.

This paper presents a wavelet-based digital watermarking technique for still images. The digital watermarking considering human visual system (HVS) to increase the robustness and perceptual invisibility of digital watermark. The watermarking embedding is modified discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients of the subbands of the images. The human visual system is number of factors that effect the noise sensitivity of human eyes that is considered to increase the robustness and perceptual invisibility of digital watermark. The watermark detection is blind watermark ( original image is not required ). Experimental results successful against attacks by image processing such as add noise, cropping, filtering, JPEG and JPEG2000 compression.

In this paper, we proposed a digital watermarking for color still image using the characteristics of human visual system and the achromatic block information. We use a binary watermark signal and insert watermark signal in the chromatic component region of YCrCb color space. In order to extract the watermark signal, we extracted the watermark signal by presuming that modified pattern of chromatic saturation without using original an image. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method has a good performance to embed watermark signal and extract one.

This paper proposes a quick response (QR) barcode watermarking algorithm in order to improve readability of the QR barcode in a JPEG image. The proposed algorithm embeds a watermark in a wavelet based-low frequency band for watermark robustness, and visually extracts a QR barcode after embedding the QR barcode image with confidential information into the original image via imperceptible watermarking technology. The visually extracted QR barcode watermark uses an approach to authenticate the ownership more easily through a common hardware and software-based mobile barcode reader app. Therefore, the QR barcode watermark may improve the ability to easily detect watermarks efficiently as well as imperceptibility and robustness, which is the main watermark requirement by embedding the QR barcode with watermark text information in a digital image and when compare to conventional watermarks.

We propose a now watermarking scheme that can be used to embed multiple bits and also resilient to geometrical transforms such as scaling, rotation, and cropping, based on off - axis holographic watermark that allows multiple watermark recovery without original content(cover image). The holographic watermark is that Fourier transformed digital hologram is embedded into cover image in the spatial domain. The proposed method has not only increased robustness with a stronger embedding but also imprescriptibility of the watermark in the evaluation process. To compare with the convention기 scheme, the spread spectrum, we embedded and recovered maximum 1,024 bits that consist of binary number over PSNR(peak signal-to-noise ratio) 39dB. And also, we computed robustness with BER(bit error rate) corresponding the above attack

This paper describes a study on developing an insert and detect system of digital watermark to the MPEG-2 coder and decoder. Digital watermark inserting system substitutes a coefficient among the DCT coefficients for new one. This replacement performs in MPEG-2 PS format. Watermark detecting system analyzes the input data stream of MPEG-2 and detect the probability of occurrence of a specific code or watermarking code. Our inserting system had very high invisibility and the PSNR of the results was 130 dB around. And our detection rate of watermark was over 99% in digital format and over 85% in analog captured format according to the quality of contents.
