    摘要: This disclosure describes methods for using embedded auxiliary signals in documents for copy detection and other applications. In an application, the auxiliary signal is formed as an array of elements selected from a set of print structures (106) with properties that change differently in response to copy operations. These changes in properties of the print structures that carry the embedded auxiliary signal are automatically detectable. The extent to which the auxiliary data is detected forms a detection metric used in combination with one or more other metrics to differentiate copies from originals. Robust and fragile watermarks are used in Image Replacement Documents for a variety of applications. Digital watermarks act as on-board mediators in authentication of a variety of printed documents. Finally, digital watermarks are used to help manage quality of the scanners used in imaging systems.

    摘要: A watermarked media signal (20) is transmarked to adapt the watermark to the robustness and perceptibility constraints of the new environment (34). A first watermark is detected (22) in the media signal and the message information from the first watermark is embedded into a second watermark (44), before the media signal undergoes a transformation process. The second watermark (44) is adapted to survive the transformation process. In addition, a watermark embedding command is included in a set of rendering commands used during the process of creating a media object to specify how the media object is to be rendered. The watermark embedding command includes an identifier used to link to customer or related content information, the customer's web site, the intensity at which to embed the watermark, areas not to embed, batch processing options, printing preferences for images, watermark embedding methods to use on different media types, formats or different parts of the media object, and desired rendering quality.

    摘要: Techniques are detailed for steganographically embedding auxiliary data (1030) within electronic content (e.g., audio, video, still imagery, etc.) (1020) in manners that are computationally simple, yet highly inconspicuous (1010). The embedded data can convey copyright or other ownership information, or may be used for device control purposes (e.g., preventing unauthorized reproduction). A number of countermeasures against removal of the auxiliary data are contemplated, including keying use of the content to the presence of such data. The embedded data may be made dependent on the media encoded, e.g., by modifying the embedded data in accordance with characteristics from the media. Encryption can also advantageously be employed (1040). Playback devices may be equipped to track IDs from previously-accessed content, and enforce usage rules. Some embodiments employ multiple watermarks to advantage, e.g., a robust watermark is encoded prior to distribution and indicates the content is protected, and a second watermark is encoded by the playback device and serves to uniquely link that content to that device. Some applications benefit from scrambling of content, in a manner that leaves certain information (e.g., from a header) unscrambled and freely accessible.
