    Abstract: A system has an image store, a digital hashing unit, and a watermark encoder. A digital image hashing unit computes a hash value representative of a digital image in such a manner that visually similar images hash to the same hash value and visually distinct images hash to different values. The hash value is stored in an image hash table and is associated via the table with the original image. This image hash table can be used to index the image storage. A watermark encoder computes a watermark based on the hash value and a secret. Using both values renders the watermark resistant to BORE (Break Once, Run Everywhere) attacks because even if the global watermark secret is discovered, an attacker still needs the hash value of each image to successfully attack the image. The system can be configured to police the Internet to detect pirated copies. The system randomly collects images from remote Web sites and hashes the images using the same hashing function. The system then compares the image hashes to hashes of the original images. If the hashes match, the collected image is suspected as being a copy of the original.

    Abstract: Even in the case where a positional misalignment occurs to an embedded digital watermark, accurate detection of watermark information is provided. A digital watermark embedding device includes: a block dividing section (101) for dividing digital data into a plurality of blocks each having a predetermined size; a block selecting section (102) for selecting m blocks (m is an integer no less than 2) from the plurality of the blocks in accordance with a predetermined order; an additional pattern setting section (103) for setting a combination of m additional patterns which are selected from a plurality types of additional patterns, the combination corresponding to one data element to be embedded into the selected m blocks; and an additional pattern embedding section (104) for embedding each of the set additional patterns into each of the selected blocks.

    Abstract: In order to avoid content deteriorations caused by embedment of a digital watermark into a moving picture, a process to search a picture for a motion and a process to filter a picture for medical care must be carried out, raising a processing cost. It is thus difficult to implement equipment for processing such pictures at a low cost. In a compound apparatus for encoding compressed code of a moving picture by employing a unit for embedding a digital watermark into a picture, a digital-watermark embedment quantity is determined by using a motion vector and a quantization parameter in a process to embed a digital watermark into the picture. It is thus no longer necessary to carry out the process to search a picture for a motion and the process to filter a picture for medical care for embedment of a digital watermark so that the cost of the entire apparatus can be reduced substantially.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a technique by which machines can determine whether printed material is an original or a copy. A technique for outputting printed material which has an effect similar to that of security paper using normal paper instead of specially printed paper such as the security paper is provided. An image-processing apparatus generates a new image by expressing a latent image area with dots of a first dot size and a background area with dots of a second dot size which is different from the first dot size, and generates another image by moving each of the dots included in the latent image area in accordance with a bit value at the corresponding bit position in additional information.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program for image processing are provided to perform operations for generating an encoded image, detecting image alteration on the encoded image, and regenerating an original image from the encoded image. The encoded image is generated by an encoding apparatus, which inserts a redundant code into an LSB (least significant bit) bit-plane of the original image. The redundant code can be generated based on bit-planes other than the LSB bit-plane, using a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) method. A decoding apparatus recalculates a redundant code from the encoded image, and checks validity of the encoded image based on the extracted redundant code.

    Abstract: A system and method for marking, coding and tracking a film print in an efficient, adaptive and customized manner for providing unique and robust identification of each individual film print and for facilitating accurate tracking of the origin of a pirated copy is described herein. A film print to be marked is calibrated and provided in computer-readable form for input to a prescreening device. The calibrated film print is reviewed and ideal locations on each frame of the film print are chosen for applying a mark. A unique coding scheme is generated for each desired print. If a pirate copy is found, all marks are located and a matching serial number (e.g., coding scheme) is determined for the pirated copy based on marks found in the pirate copy when compared to a database storing film print mark information generated during the marking and coding process.
