Abstract

In the process of adding a swelling mark into a digital image, a digitalized swelling mark first receives a fault-tolerant treatment to increase the toughness thereof. The digital data file, which is to be added with the swelling mark, first receives a calculation to obtain the data value which is suitable to contain the swelling mark in each element. The portions that are suitable for adding the swelling mark are selected. The fault-tolerant-processed digitalized swelling mark is filled in based on the distribution of the portions that are suitable for adding the swelling mark, while adjusting the content of the swelling mark. Based on the adjusted result, the digitalized swelling mark is distributed in the digital data file, thereby completing the addition of the swelling mark.

Description of the invention (/) [Application scope of the invention] The present invention relates to a technique for adding a watermark to a digitized image, and in particular, to a method and a device for adding a watermark to a spatial domain of a digitized image file. . [Background of the invention] In digital data processing technology, "watermark" refers to the addition of specific data to a digitized data file so that the data can be displayed when necessary for explanation or certification purposes. Generally speaking, in the technology of adding a watermark, the main requirements include the amount of information, invisibility, and toughness. The explanations are as follows: 1. Message amount: As the better watermarking technology is to add the watermark to the digital data file instead of creating another digital watermark file, the applicable watermark technology must be able to be in the digital data file Find enough space to embed or hide a significant amount of digital watermark data. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 2. Invisibility: The watermark data added to the digital data file should not be easily detectable by the receiver, processor, and observer. On the one hand, watermarks are destructive to the original data. In order to avoid damage to the source material, it must exist in a form that is not detectable on the senses. On the other hand, the watertightness of the watermark must be difficult to detect, to prevent it from being detected, decoded, or even eliminated by others, in order to maintain its application function. 3. Toughness: In the process of transmitting, processing and storing digital data, it must go through several data processing procedures. The program usually includes compression, conversion, and so on. Furthermore, in the above process, noise, information, and even 3 paper sizes are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 474104 A7 B7 for various reasons V. Description of the invention (J) He has a watermark. A good watermark must remain intact under the above effects, not be damaged, or even disappear. ’Because the watermark has the functions of storing and verifying digital data, it has the highest commercial application price in modern times where digital data are widely used. Especially for the Internet, the unlimited copying and distribution of various media materials can play a role in protecting copyright. In addition, the watermark provides the function of verifying the authenticity of the document, as well as tracing the digital data transmission and copying process. It has considerable potential for the application of future e-commerce. In the digital watermarking technology, it is generally considered that the LSB (least significant bit) floating watermarking technology of Schyndel et al. Is the pioneering technology in this field. Schyndel et al. Published a conventional LSB coding technique in 1994, which incorporated a m-sequence watermarking technique. This technology hides the watermark in the image data of Lou Nu, the least obvious bit, and the watermark data is obtained by m-sequence encoding. Multiple images of the wife and daughter are added to the watermark. The receiver can use the same m-sequence serving decoding to get the watermark. In 1996, Wolfgang et al. Developed the technology into a two-dimensional coding method. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs If the digital data file added with the watermark is image data, the watermark can be added to the digital image data in its spatial domain or processed in its conversion domain. Watermarking technology is added to the spatial domain of digital image data. In terms of conventional technology, the representative ones are Matsui and Tanaka's watermarking technology. The technology is about adding a watermark to a grayscale image, a dithered binary image, a fax image, a color still image, or a video image. The explanation is as follows: 4 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 474104 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (彳) First obtain a digitized image. Secondly, according to the position of its pixels, calculate the grayscale difference between ξ adjacent images to obtain a difference unitary matrix. Again, according to a cipher key table, a code corresponding to each difference 値 0 or 1 is found in the table. Get a code matrix. Next, the watermark to be added is converted into a series of numbers 代表 represented by 0 and 1, and the string 値 is formed into a number 値 matrix that is the same as or related to the code matrix form. Compare the two matrices. If the numbers 値 (0 and 1) are different, then find the difference in the cipher key table that corresponds to the code in the corresponding code matrix 値, the difference between the positions closest to each other and the same number 値Instead of the difference 値. After processing, a difference unitary matrix with additional watermarks is obtained. The difference unitary matrix can be restored to an image with a watermark attached. Recipients who receive the difference unitary matrix or image pixel matrix can use the same cipher key table to restore the watermark. (For the above, please refer to Mitchell D. Swanson et al., “Multi-media data_embedding and watermarking technologies”, Preceedings of IEEE, 86 (6); 1064-1087, June 1998.) The watermarking technology in the conversion domain can be represented by the technology of Cox et al. (See Ingemar J. Cox et al., "Secure Spread spectrum watermarking for multimedia, IEEE Trans. On Image Processing, 6 (12): 1673-1687, June 1997 ·) This technology is applicable to DCT (Discrete cosine transform) processing Imaging technology. In the invention of Cox et al., The watermark data is part of the intermediate frequency that is added to the image files processed by DCT. Cox et al. Chooses the intermediate frequency (Middle-5 This paper standard applies to Chinese national standards ( CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 4741 ⑽ A7 B7 5.

In Cox's invention, the watermark is generated by Gaussian random number distribution. X = Xi, X2, ..., Xn can be represented as a set of 0 and 1. After using the following formula, the watermark can be added to a data file, and a data file with a watermark V /: V ^ Cl + x ^ i) is obtained, where V / (i = 1, 2, ..., η) represents the DCT coefficient of the data file with the watermark after conversion, 乂 represents the DCT coefficient of the original image, & represents the elements of the floating watermark file generated by the Gaussian random number distribution, and% represents the scalar vector. During processing, as long as the obtained data file is processed by inverse DCT, the original data file and the watermark are obtained. That is, both the original image and the image with the watermark added are DCT processed during the restoration, and the approximate DCT coefficients of the watermark are obtained after subtraction. Finally, the watermark is restored by inverse DCT processing.

[Detailed description of the invention] Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Figure 1 shows the flow chart of the method for adding a watermark to a digital image according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, when a watermark is added to a digital image, the present invention obtains a watermark data at (101). If the watermark is text data, it can usually be expressed in a suitable format (such as ASCII). If it is an image, it may be a series of gray scales. Secondly, in (102), the watermark data is encoded with a fault-tolerant encoder, so that the watermark data can withstand various compression, transmission, and storage data processing. Here, suitable fault-tolerant encoders include commonly used BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) fault-tolerant coding programs. Other coding methods that can improve the fault tolerance rate can also be used in the present invention. Obtain a digital data file at (103). The digital data file is the object to which the watermark is to be attached. At (104), according to the characteristics of the digital data file, the watermark data file is modulated to be suitable for being appended to the digital data file. The modulated watermark data file may become a string. At (105), the watermarked data processed by the debugging is added to the digital data file. The methods of modulating and adding watermarks will be detailed below. The additional method is to use the bit data in the modulated watermark data file to enter the selected address in the digital data file with the modulated type and content. At (106), the digital data file with the added watermark can be transmitted. 8 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 mm) 474104 A7 B7. 5. Description of the invention (7) or storage; It can also be handled in a conventional way. At (丨 〇7), the appendix; ′ Add watermark-digital data is taken by a second person for processing. If the acquirer does not have the original digital data file without the watermark attached, then (108) use the applicable technology to estimate the content of the original digital data file from the additional watermark digital data file obtained and obtain a Approximate raw digital data file. The technique of estimating the original digital data file is not the focus of the present invention and can be achieved by any appropriate method, and it is not intended to be detailed here. Subtract the approximate original digital data file or the original digital data file from the obtained additional watermark digital data file in (109) to obtain a floating watermark data file. At (110), the watermark data file is demodulated in the foregoing manner, and (m) is also used in the foregoing manner to debug the watermark data, and finally obtain the watermark data. One of the important points of the present invention is the aforementioned technique of modulating the watermark data file to suit the technology of adding to the relevant digital data file. This will be explained in detail below. The modulation technology provided by the present invention is to add a watermark to digital image data. Its additional technology is mainly suitable for the spatial domain of digital image data. Although not intended to be bound by any theory, according to the method of the present invention, providing a suitable method for adding a watermark can be considered at the following levels: Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1. Information volume: According to the invention Design, if you want to get a better amount of information, you can use the characteristics of the digital data file you want to process. If the digital data file to which the watermark is to be added is regarded as an information channel, the optimal transmission volume can be found in the information channel, and it can be used as the watermark information amount that the digital data can hold. Here, the watermark can be regarded as "information", and the following information can be used to calculate the amount of information: 9 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 474104 Α7 Β7 5.
