Watermarking digital images for copyright protection

A watermark is an invisible mark placed on an image that is designed to identify both the source of an image as well as its intended recipient. The authors present an overview of watermarking techniques and demonstrate a solution to one of the key problems in image watermarking, namely how to hide robust invisible labels inside grey scale or colour digital images     

Document identification for copyright protection using centroiddetection

A way to discourage illicit reproduction of copyrighted or sensitive documents is to watermark each copy before distribution. A unique mark is embedded in the text whose recipient is registered. The mark can be extracted from a possibly noisy illicit copy, identifying the registered recipient. Most image marking techniques are vulnerable to binarization attack and, hence, not suitable for text marking. We propose a different approach where a text document is marked by shifting certain text lines slightly up or down or words slightly left or right from their original positions. The shifting pattern constitutes the mark and is different on different copies. In this paper we develop and evaluate a method to detect such minute shifts. We describe a marking and identification prototype that implements the proposed method. We present preliminary experimental results which suggest that centroid detection performs remarkably well on line shifts even in the presence of severe distortions introduced by printing, photocopying, scanning, and facsimile transmission     

Wavelet tree quantization for copyright protection watermarking

This paper proposes a wavelet-tree-based blind watermarking scheme for copyright protection. The wavelet coefficients of the host image are grouped into so-called super trees. The watermark is embedded by quantizing super trees. The trees are so quantized that they exhibit a large enough statistical difference, which will later be used for watermark extraction. Each watermark bit is embedded in perceptually important frequency bands, which renders the mark more resistant to frequency based attacks. Also, the watermark is spread throughout large spatial regions. This yields more robustness against time domain geometric attacks. Examples of various attacks will be given to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed technique.     

A blind image copyright protection scheme for e-government

An efficient blind copyright protection for e-government document images is proposed through a combination of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the singular value decomposition (SVD) based on genetic algorithm (GA). This combination could lead the watermarked image to be resistant to various attacks as well as to improve its performance, security and robustness. DCT, in this case, is applied to the entire image and mapped by a zigzag manner to four areas from the lowest to the highest frequencies. SVD, meanwhile, is applied in each area and then the singular value of DCT-transformed host image, subsequently, is modified in each area with the quantizing value using GA to increase the visual quality and the robustness. The host image is not needed in the watermark extraction and it is more useful than non-blind one in real-world applications. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other existing methods under several types of attacks.     

A blind scene-based watermarking for video copyright protection

Due to the replicable nature of video many illegal copies of the original video can be made. So it demands to deliver methods for preventing illegal copying. This paper identifies a new digital watermarking approach for copyright protection of video based on wavelet transformation. First, the motion part of color video is detected by scene change analysis, and then by applying 3D wavelet transformation over detected motion part, 10 sub-bands of wavelet coefficients are obtained. In order to insert the watermark, 3D coefficients of HL, LH and HH with their third level are selected. After all, by using a spread spectrum technique, the watermark is embedded into the selected wavelet coefficients. In extraction step, the original video is not needed, namely, blind detection. So, the resultant watermarking scheme can be used for public watermarking applications, where the original video is not available for watermark extraction. The experimental results show a good performance of the proposed method for transparency and robustness. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed method against various kinds of attacks such as median filtering, Gaussian noise, frame dropping, frame averaging, frame swapping and lots of lossy compression including MPEG-4, MPEG-2, and H.264 shows the fidelity of our claim.     

Watermarking-based copyright protection of sequential functions

Watermarking is one of several techniques available today to deter copyright infringement in electronic systems. The technique consists of implanting indelible stamps in the circuit's inner structure, while not disrupting its functionality nor degrading its performance significantly. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for the creation of watermarks in regular sequential functions. This is an important class of functions, as it is the basis of most digital controllers. Algorithms are proposed for implanting robust watermarks to minimize the overhead and, ultimately, to reduce the impact on performance. Detection methods have been discussed in the presence of infringement attacks. The resilience of the method in several tampering regimes has been estimated. Examples illustrate the suitability of the approach     

Patent, copyright and trade secret protection for computer software

Several ways to protect software are examined. Patents confer a limited monopoly, which protects the patent holder against all later independent developers of the same or equivalent program. Utility-patent applications typically require several thousand dollars in fees and costs prior to issuance of the patent. Design-patent applications are relatively much cheaper to file and process through the Patent Office. Copyright protects the literal code, and possibly the programs' structure and organization, against copying. Copyright registration applications can usually be prepared for a few hundred dollars, including any attorney time. Trade-secret protection for software is a viable alternative, if the program cannot be easily copied by purchasers. The cost for protecting a trade secret depends on the measures necessary to keep the information from general public disclosure     

Logical copyright changes in legal protection of software

1993 brought a series of changes in the protection and licensing of software, which mark a shift in the legal and commercial balance between suppliers and users. In particular, they introduced a number of additional rights for software users, some of which will apply irrespective of anything in the relevant contract. Everyone involved in the development, licensing or use of computer programs should therefore be aware of the changes. Here, the author outlines what every software supplier and user should know about these latest developments in software protection
