    摘要: The present invention relates generally to fingerprinting (i.e., human fingerprints). More specifically the present invention relates to explicitly embedding so-called fingerprint minutiae locations in an identification document via digital watermarking. A relative mapping of the minutiae locations can be transformed, scrambled and combined with a watermark orientation component, and then embedded in a photograph or artwork. The embedded photograph or artwork is printed on, e.g., an identification document. Another aspect of the invention is a matching method used to match a representation of a set of control minutiae locations with a representation of a set of sample minutiae locations.

    摘要: The present invention provides steganographic and digital watermarking methods and apparatus. In a first implementation, we provide methods and apparatus for steganographically conveying data in a facial image by subtly altering facial features relative to statistical norms. In a second implementation, we convey data through different patterns of a diffraction grating. In a third implementation, we convey a digital watermark orientation component by projecting the orientation component onto an object to be captured. In the case of blue-screen technology, we incorporate an orientation component into a blue-screen itself. This provides great convenience for digital animators when overlay graphics and animation. In a forth implementation, we provide an identification document including an electronic memory chip. The chip includes an image of a bearer of the identification document. The image is digitally watermarked to include information (e.g., a chip serial number or document number) that is carried by the identification document. Thus, the electronic memory chip is tied to the document.

    摘要: This disclosure describes apparatus and systems for encoding and decoding signals from a host signal such as audio, video or imagery. One claim recites an apparatus comprising: electronic memory for storing a media signal representing audio or video; and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is programmed for: extracting data representing at least some features of the media signal; using the extracted data as a key to select coefficients in a transform domain, the coefficients representing the media signal; and modifying selected coefficients to hide a steganographic signal in the media signal. Of course, other claims and combinations are provided as well.
