    Abstract: In a watermark process section in an image processing apparatus, a visible watermark pattern read-out section reads out a visible watermark pattern that is stored in a memory. An invisible watermark generating section draws an invisible watermark on the read-out visible watermark pattern. Image data, which includes both the visible watermark and drawn invisible watermark, is multiplied by an overlay ratio. An adder section adds the visible/invisible watermark image data, which is multiplied by the overlay ratio, and input image data. Thus, watermark-overlaid image data is generated.

    Abstract: A computer is provided with an application and a printer driver. A user of the computer generates image data using the applications. When the image data is for a plurality of pages, the user selects a desired watermark for each of the plurality of pages. The printer driver converts the image data into print data, and combines selected watermarks with the print data for corresponding pages, thereby generating updated print data. The updated print data is output as a single print job to the printer. The printer executes printing operations based on the print job so as to print an image on a plurality of pages, each formed with a corresponding watermark.

    Abstract: Essentially coincident with the capture of an image by the imaging device, biometric information indicating the identity of the operator of the device is obtained from at least one biometric sensor. The biometric information and captured image are then stored in a manner reliably associating each with the other. At a later time, biometric information is obtained from a supposed operator of the imaging device. By comparing this candidate biometric information with the stored biometric information, the supposed operator may be authenticated as the operator of the imaging device at the time of capture of the stored image.

    Abstract: The semi-fragile watermark comprises a fragile watermark component and a robust watermark component. Features are extracted from the video stream and subsequent hashing and encryption processes are performed to generate the fragile watermark. The fragile watermark includes control data information at the block level as well as frame and group level information. The fragile watermark is added on top of the robust watermark, giving the system the ability to detect alteration at the block level as well as the group level. The resulting semi-fragile watermark has the advantage of being both sensitive to malicious attack while being robust enough to survive bit rate reduction and other types of manipulation typically performed on digital multimedia signals.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for embedding a watermark in a multimedia signal and detecting the watermark, are described. The method comprises the steps of generating a watermark signal comprising a first sequence of values and a second sequence of values; obtaining a first signal portion corresponding to a first channel and a second signal portion corresponding to a second channel from the multimedia signal, said channels being significantly independent; generating a first host modifying signal as a mixture of the first signal portion and the first sequence; generating a second host modifying signal as a mixture of the second signal portion and the second sequence; and generating a watermarked multimedia signal by combining scaled versions of the host modifying signals with the multimedia signal.
