    摘要: This invention relates to a method to select, in an input image, pixels that can be watermarked by replacing their colour by a metameric colour. It comprises the following steps:
    - correct (10) the input image by applying a predetermined gamma law,
    - convert (11) the input image into a 'metameric' image in which the colours of the input image pixels are replaced by metameric colours,
    - simulate (12) the capture of the input image and of the metameric image by a camcorder in order to generate respectively a captured input image and a captured metameric image,
    - determine (13), in a colour space and for each pixel of the input image, the distance between the colour of said pixel in the captured input image and in the captured metameric image, and
    - select (14) the pixels of the input image for which the distance is greater than a threshold.
    The invention also concerns a watermarking method based on metamerism.

    摘要: The invention relates to a projection system for displaying at least one visual image based on three primary colours, comprising a signal processing unit (11) for converting said visual image into at least a visual image based on four primary colours, a frequency band being associated to each colour primary, first display means (12) for displaying three first primary colours of said visual image on a screen (14) and second display means (13) for displaying at least the fourth primary colour of said visual image on said screen. According to the invention, the system further comprises a notch filter (15) located between said first display means and the screen to attenuate or block at least a portion of the frequencies of at least one of the three first primary colours in the frequency spectrum associated to the fourth primary colour. The spectrum of the first three primary colours and the fourth primary colour are thus disconnected to guarantee more different spectral power distributions for two metamers.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for combating the copying of source pictures by means of a camera while they are being displayed, for example using a camcorder in a movie theatre. To this end, it is known, in classical projection systems, to modulate by a carrier wave the brightness of some pixels of the pictures. The frequency of the carrier wave is usually constant and generally half the refresh frequency. The main problem with such systems is that once a pirate has figured out what the modulation frequency is, he can configure his camcorder shutter to filter out this frequency and bypass the anti-camcorder method. According to the invention, the frequency of the carrier is changed at least once throughout the displaying of the sequence pictures or the movie, to defeat all camcorders standards (PAL/NTSC) and shutter configurations.

    摘要: The invention discloses a new modulation scheme to prevent illegal copy in movie theaters. None of the existing modulation schemes make the right assumptions to modelize a camcorder device. In such classical schemes, camcorders are always considered as sampling devices without taking into account the effects of shutter speed. The shutter of the camcorder is classically compared to a low-pass filter. As a result, modulation effects can be easily removed by setting up shutter speed to low values (low cutoff frequency). The right mathematical modelization of the shutter effect shows that, in the spectral domain, the behavior of the camcorder is close to a cardinal sine function with a main lobe and sidelobes. Consequently, according to the invention, it is proposed to select a modulation frequency that not only generates visual artifacts once recorded by the camcorder under shutter-free conditions, but that can also generate artifacts despite low shutter speed settings by going through sidelobe of the shutter spectrum.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and a device for displaying a sequence of images that makes it possible to prevent any unauthorized copying of the latter. It applies to any type of digital display device comprising a matrix of light cells comprising a number of rows and/or columns of cells greater than the number of rows and/or of columns of pixels of the images to be displayed. According to the invention, to disrupt the illegal copying of sequences of images in cinema auditoria, it is proposed to modify the frame frequency of the displayed images by varying the number of rows and/or columns of cells addressed with a black level for at least two images of the sequence.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method for processing a sequence of source pictures to generate artifacts due to aliasing when these source pictures are captured by a video capturing device. This method comprises a first time modulation step for modulating temporally at a first modulation frequency (f m1 ) the brightness of pixels of each picture of the sequence around a brightness to be displayed for said picture. According to an important feature of the invention, the method further comprises a second time modulation step for modulating temporally at a second modulation frequency (f m2 ) different from the first modulation frequency (f m1 ) the brightness of pixels of each picture of the sequence around a brightness value to be displayed for said picture, the first and second modulation frequencies (f m1 ,f m2 ) being determined in order not to be visible to the human eye and contributing to generate aliasing artifact at a predetermined aliasing frequency.

    摘要: The invention relates to a display device using the DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. This invention is in the field of digital cinema and content protection, where camcorder acquisition followed by immediate illegal distribution creates important revenue losses for content owners. According to the invention, the addressing of the display device is modified in order to introduce an anti-copy processing. The display device comprises modulation means (500) for modulating the colour or brightness of video data of video pictures received at a first rate and for outputting at a second rate modulated video data, said second rate being a multiple of the first rate, subfield coding means (501) for coding said modulated video data into subfield data, said subfield data being delivered at the second rate, and addressing means (502,503) for addressing the array with said subfield data at a third rate. Advantageously, the third rate is not a multiple of the first rate.
