Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for embedding and extracting digital watermarks based on wavelets which is robust to external attacks while being capable of minimizing a degradation in picture quality caused by embedding of the watermarks. SOLUTION: The embedded watermarks embedded in DC component domains of wavelet-transformed domains can be robust to external attacks such as compression in the case of embedding and extracting watermarks for copyright protection. The high-frequency dependency of pixels in a DC component domain determined as a target domain, in which watermarks are to be embedded, is calculated, in order to embed the watermarks in the target domain in the order of pixels having a higher high-frequency dependency. Accordingly, there is an advantage in that it is possible to minimize a degradation in picture quality caused by the embedding of watermarks in the DC component domain. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for extracting a fingerprint of a publication, an apparatus for extracting a fingerprint of a publication, a system for identifying a publication using a fingerprint, and a method for identifying a publication using a fingerprint which can easily identify copyright infringement and can effectively protect copyrights. The system for identifying the publication using the fingerprint includes: a fingerprint extraction unit for extracting fingerprints for collected query publications to identify the copyright infringement; a fingerprint query unit for querying fingerprints of original publications corresponding to the fingerprints for the query publications provided from the fingerprint extraction unit; a DBMS for storing the fingerprints extracted from the original publications and additional information from the original publications, and providing a search result candidate group which is composed of fingerprints of at least one of the original publications corresponding to the queries of the fingerprint query unit; and a candidate group verification unit for determining copyright infringement for the query publications by verifying the search result candidate group provided from the DBMS. Consequently, the present invention can easily identify copyright infringement for the publications and can thereby prevent copyright infringement.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for inserting a forensic mark for protecting the copyright of the digital camera contents are provided to protect the copyright of the digital cinema contents efficiently by inserting the forensic mark in a lifting-based wavelet conversion process. Wavelet converters(200,210) change the digital video data into lifting based wavelet. A forensic mark generating unit(214) produces the forensic mark for the digital right protection. A forensic mark insertion unit(212) comprises the lifting step so that the return value of the wavelet conversion be identical regardless of the added lifting parameter value. The forensic mark insertion part provides the forensic equation mark to the wavelet converter. The forensic equation mark is inserted into the intermediate result value among a plurality of lifting steps.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Apparatus and method for copyright protection of digital contents are provided to watermarks CCL information included in concerned contents to the digital contents, and to insert watermark capable of detecting the transformation of the contents into the digital contents. CONSTITUTION: Apparatus and method for copyright protection of digital contents comprises: a CCL(Creative Commons License) watermark applying unit(110) watermarking CCL information and digital contents provided together based on the CCL information; a transformation preventing watermark applying unit(120) inserting a watermark for detecting the transformation of the contents into the digital contents; a watermark management unit(130) issuing the CCL watermark and the watermark for detecting the transformation.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A distributed filtering apparatus and a method for the copyright protection of digital content are provided to be able to filter content depending on priority in a copyright search of the digital content. CONSTITUTION: A priority work node unit(304) selectively filters content with a copyright using plural priority work node databases. In case the content copyright existence is not determined in the priority work node unit, by using a plurality of the databases for the general work node, a general work node unit(306) selectively filters the content with copyright using plural general work node databases. A search server(302) controls a selective filter using the priority work node unit and the general work node unit according to the priority search regulation.
