Abstract

This paper presents a way to embed watermarks into 2D vectordata. The watermarking system provides a high capacity and is robust against the following attacks: polyline simplifications like the Douglas-Peucker algorithm [1], moving and cropping of data and addition of small amounts of random noise. The system is designed for adding information to digital maps. The attacks mentioned above can happen during the daily work with these maps, so the watermark will not be destroyed by working with the data. Nevertheless it is possible to destroy it on purpose by using other attacks. The information is embedded by changing the x/y-coordinates of datapoints within the tolerance of the data. A block code is used to reconstruct missing data when not enough datapoints are available and a synchronization provides a way to detect the information even when the map is cropped.

Digital Image Watermarking for Malicious Attack
ICA3PP '09: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing

In this paper, a copyright protection method for digital image with 1/T rate forward error correction (FEC) is proposed. In the proposed method, the original image is lossless and the watermark is robust to malicious attacks. The watermark logo is fused ...
High-capacity index based data hiding method

In this paper, a high-capacity data hiding method based on the index function is presented. The cover image is divided into non-overlapping sub-blocks, and the basis pixel is calculated by the index function. Difference values with other pixel-pairs are ...
Lossless data embedding--new paradigm in digital watermarking
Emerging applications of multimedia data hiding

One common drawback of virtually all current data embedding methods is the fact that the original image is inevitably distorted due to data embedding itself. This distortion typically cannot be removed completely due to quantization, bit-replacement, or ...
