Title
Coping with local geometric attacks by means of optic-flow-based resynchronization for robust watermarking
Abstract
In the last years digital watermarking has been widely indicated as a possible efficient toot to deal with multimedia copyright protection. Particularly, in the field of image watermaking, a large number or techniques has been developed aiming at hiding information within the data. After an initial phase in which the main problem was to succeed in inserting a private code which was unperceivable, successively watermarking community tried to design watermarks which presented a high level of robustness that meant the ability to be revealed also when the image had undergone different manipulations (e.g. compression, D/A-A/D conversion, filtering). Although good results have been obtained in this field, resilience against geometric manipulations, (e.g. rotation, scaling. changes of aspect ratio) is still a research issue;, furthermore robustness against Stirmark random-displacements attack in which small local geometric modifications are carried out, is still a crucial point for the majority of the so-called robust algorithms. In this paper a new approach. based on the estimation through an optic flow technique of the displacement field, correspondent to a specific geometric transformation, is proposed. This methodology can be adopted as a re-synchronization tool, to enhance robustness of digital image watermarking techniques.
