This paper proposes a new watermarking method for digital image by composing the DWT-QIM based embedding with visual secret sharing (VSS) method. Firstly, the watermark image is separated into $n$ shares by using the $k-out-of-n$ method, called $(k,n)$ visual secret sharing. One of share is employed in order to embed into the original image for copyright protection. Another $(n-1)$ of shares are registered with Vietnam Copyright Department. When the dispute happens, the verifier can extract the watermark information from the watermarked image, then, decode it with $(k-1)$ shares chosen from $(n-1)$ shares to achieve the copyright information. Our experimental results show that our proposed method works efficiently on the digital images.

Watermark Algorithm

This paper presents a blind watermarking algorithm for digital images based on contourlet transform. After Contourlet transform, original image is decomposed into a series of multiscale, local and directional sub images. Each blocks of Arnold transformed watermark image, is embedded into suitable blocks of low pass coefficients of the contourlet transformed original image. Watermark is embedded using module arithmetic and odd-even quantization. The retrieving watermark algorithm is a blind detecting process, and it does not need original image. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm is able to resist attacks, such as JPEG compression, noising, cropping and other attacks, and the watermarking is invisible and robust.

Block Shuffling

With the ambient use of digital images and the increasing concern on their integrity and originality, consumers are facing an emergent need of authenticating degraded images despite lossy compression and packet loss. In this paper, we propose a scheme to meet this need by incorporating watermarking solution into traditional cryptographic signature scheme to make the digital signatures robust to these image degradations. Due to the unpredictable degradations, the pre-processing and block shuffling techniques are applied onto the image at the signing end to stabilize the feature extracted at the verification end. The proposed approach is compatible with traditional cryptographic signature scheme except that the original image needs to be watermarked in order to guarantee the robustness of its derived digital signature. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed scheme through practical experimental results.

Decision Method

A new blind digital watermarking algorithm based on the chain code is proposed. The chain code is obtained by the characteristics of the original image -the edge contour. The feather can reflect the overall correlation of the vector image, and chain code expression can significantly reduce the boundary representation of the amount of data required. For the watermarking embedding, the original vector image is divided into sub-block images, and two bits of the watermarking information are embedded into sub-block images repeatedly by quantization. For watermarking extracting, the majority decision method is employed to determine the size of the extracted watermark. Experimental results show that the image quality is not significantly lowered after watermarking. The algorithm can resist the basic conventional attacks and has good robustness on the shear attacks.

Novel Method

AbstractManipulation in image has been in practice since centuries. These manipulated images are intended to alter facts — facts of ethics, morality, politics, sex, celebrity or chaos. Image forensic science is used to detect these manipulations in a digital image. There are several standard ways to analyze an image for manipulation. Each one has some limitation. Also very rarely any method tried to capitalize on the way image was taken by the camera. We propose a new method that is based on light and its shade as light and shade are the fundamental input resources that may carry all the information of the image. The proposed method measures the direction of light source and uses the light based technique for identification of any intentional partial manipulation in the said digital image. The method is tested for known manipulated images to correctly identify the light sources. The light source of an image is measured in terms of angle. The experimental results show the robustness of the methodology.

A method about embedding watermark in PDF document is proposed in this paper. First, PDF document is converted into a image format. Watermark image is converted into a scrambling image by Arnold transformation.And then the watermark is embedded into the PDF document image by discrete wavelet transform for PDF document image and matrix singular value decomposition for watermark image. Not only can watermark be extracted without the original image, but also increase the safety by this means. Experiment express, on the condition that the same size of the watermark image,the method made more copyright information as watermark be embedded into PDF document and the amount of the watermarked PDF document data be affected less with the increase of copyright information.

Processing Techniques

There exists substantial literature for capturing digital images of insect specimens for taxonomy purposes but very few papers are available on post processing of these images.  We present a few techniques for editing digital images of insects using Adobe® Photoshop® which can be performed in a relatively short amount of time.  The results clearly show that techniques using a combination of options like Curves, Dodge/Burn, Hue/Saturation and Lab Color mode in the software, enhance the quality of the original image without changing any taxonomic information.  These methods applied in different combinations can be used for taxonomy of any insect taxon.  We also caution the readers of the abuse of such techniques in context of taxonomy.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the automatic generation of pencil drawing from digital image. We use multi-scale edge detector to construct an outline map according to the structural importance. Using strokes as the major building blocks, we smooth the boundary and rendering outline according to the pencil sketch style. Then, tone rendering is carried out to convey both the tone and textures of the original image. Experimental results on natural scenery and architectural scenery images show that the pencil sketch drawings produced by our method are of good visual effects. Besides, the implementation require less than 1 second on the image with 400*300 pixels.
