Watermarking Matt Elliott Brian Schuette

Overview Goals Methods Comparison Attacks References

Goals Watermark Goals Robust Invisible Recovery Project Goals Watermark Types –Fragile –Robust Techniques –Frequency Domain –Spatial domain

Bit-Plane Slicing Spatial Domain LSB contains watermark Simple detection Many options –Image blocks –Encode Text –Specific Areas

Cox Method –Frequency Domain –Transformation –AC Coefficients Sorted by size Largest 1000 selected Psuedo-random watermark embedded –Reverse transformation 2D DCTsort v’=v (1+  w) IDCT & normalize Original image N largest coeff. other coeff. marked image random vector generator wmk seed

Comparison Fragile Watermark –Very susceptible to attack –Used for tampering detection Robust Watermark –Resistant to tampering –Used with public images –Provides proof of ownership
