인덱스 변환 함수를 이용한 벡터 양자화 기반의 견고한 다중 워터마킹 방법

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust multi-watermarking method based on vector quantization using an index transform function. In contrast with the conventional watermark embedding methods to embed only one watermark at a time into the original image, we present a method to embed multiple watermarks for copyright protection. The proposed method efficiently enhances the robustness by index transform function which minimizes changes of vector quantization indices against various attacks. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a good robustness against various attacks compared with the conventional multi-watermarking method based on vector quantization.
