    摘要: Data is protected from unauthorized copying by rescrambling an unauthorized version of the data, but descrambling an authorized version of the data. This is done using a trigger signal. One property of the trigger signal is that it is preserved through signal transformations, such as one or more of compression, decompression, analog to digital conversion, and digital to analog conversion. As a result of this property the trigger signal can be detected in either scrambled or descrambled data. The trigger signal is embedded into the data to form watermarked data. The watermarked data is passed through a descrambler, where the trigger signal, if present, is extracted. A descrambling key and a descrambling algorithm are applied to the watermarked data if the trigger signal is present, but not applied to the watermarked data if the trigger signal is not present.

    摘要: A method for detecting a watermark signal in digital image data. The detecting method includes the steps of: computing a log-polar Fourier transform of the image data to obtain a log-polar Fourier spectrum; projecting the log-polar Fourier spectrum down to a lower dimensional space to obtain an extracted signal; comparing the extracted signal to a target watermark signal; and declaring the presence or absence of the target watermark signal in the image data based on the comparison. Also provided is a method for inserting a watermark signal in digital image data to obtain a watermarked image. The inserting method includes the steps of: computing a log-polar Fourier transform of the image data to obtain a log-polar Fourier spectrum; projecting the log-polar Fourier spectrum down to a lower dimensional space to obtain an extracted signal; modifying the extracted signal such that it is similar to a target watermark; performing a one-to-many mapping of the modified signal back to log-polar Fourier transform space to obtain a set of watermarked coefficients; and performing an inverse log-polar Fourier transform on the set of watermarked coefficients to obtain a watermarked image.

    摘要: A watermarking procedure that is applicable to images, audio, video and multimedia data to be watermarked divides the data to be watermarked into a set of n×n blocks, such as the 8×8 blocks of MPEG. The same watermark signal can be distributed throughout the set of blocks in a large variety of ways. This allows the insertion algorithm to be changed without affecting the decoders. The decoding procedure first sums together the DCT coefficients of N sets of 8×8 blocks to form a set of N summed 8×8 blocks and then extracts the watermark from the summed block. Since the sum of the DCT blocks is equal to the DCT of the sum of the intensity blocks, efficient decoding can occur in both the spatial and frequency domains. The symmetric nature of the decoding process allows geometric distortions to be handled in the spatial domain and other signal distortions to be handled in the frequency domain. Moreover, insertion of a watermark signal into image data and the subsequent extraction of the watermark from watermarked image data which has been subject to distortion between the times of insertion and extraction involves the insertion of multiple watermarks designed to survive predefined distortions of the image data, such as panscan or letterbox mode transformations. Alternatively, a registration pattern in the image data, after the image data containing the registration pattern is subject to an unknown distortion, is used to compensate for distortion of the watermarked image data.

A feature of the process is a partitioning into subproblems such that the most probable solutions are in the smaller subproblems and the computation begins by solving the smallest subproblem in the search for the best solution.
