概要

In this presentation, I will introduce digital watermarking, a still very hot research area. Digital watermarking is the science of imperceptibly and robustly embedding additional information into host signals such as image, video, audio, software. The applications of digital watermarking can be copyright protection, content authentication, data hiding, multimedia indexing and retrieval, quality evaluation, etc. Among other requirements, a watermarking algorithm should meet the requirements of imperceptibility, robustness, security, and data capacity. In this presentation I will introduce digital watermarking’s principle, applications, requirements, the state of the art, and challenges. After that, I will report our major achievements in this research area: rotation, scaling, and translation (RST) invariant image watermarking, and image and speech quality evaluation based on watermarking. RST attacks are the most challenging attacks to image watermarking, since even a slight rotation or scaling can defeat a normal watermarking algorithm. We have proposed several novel and practical watermarking algorithms that are invariant to RST. For quality evaluation, I will introduce our algorithms for evaluating the quality of image and speech. Based on discrete wavelet transform and quantization, these quality evaluation algorithms do not need original signal or a complex model, and they are very accurate and promising. We believe that the watermarking based quality evaluation can be extended to audio and video. In conclusion, I will point out the limits of watermarking, the future of watermarking, and the important research challenges in this area.
