24 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
25 .B wm_cox_e
|
|
26 is a program to embed a signature (watermark) from
|
|
27 .I sfile
|
|
28 into the DCT coefficients of an image
|
|
29 .I file
|
|
30 and output a signed (watermarked) image
|
|
31 .I ofile.
|
|
32 Both, input and output image,
|
|
33 are in PGM (portable graymap) format.
|
|
34 .PP
|
|
35 If
|
|
36 .I file
|
|
37 or
|
|
38 .I ofile
|
|
39 is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
|
|
40 used. The signature
|
|
41 .I sfile
|
|
42 is a mandatory parameter however.
|
|
43 .PP
|
|
44 .B gen_cox_sig
|
|
45 is used to generate a signature file,
|
|
46 .B wm_cox_d
|
|
47 extracts a signature from a watermarked image and
|
|
48 .B cmp_cox_sig
|
|
49 allows to compare and test an extracted watermark against the original
|
|
50 signature.

|
|
53 Watermarking for Multimedia", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.

55 .SH OPTIONS
|
|
56 .TP
|
|
57 .BI \-a \ number
|
|
58 Alpha factor that determines embedding strength of the signature.
|
|
59 Allows to override the setting in the signature file.

64 .BI \-o \ ofile
|
|
65 Output watermarked image to the specified
|
|
66 .I file
|
|
67 instead of standard output.
|
|
68 .TP
|
|
69 .BI \-q \ number
|
|
70 Set quantization/quality factor. Overrides the setting in the signature
|
|
71 file.
|
|
72 .TP
|
|
73 .BI \-s \ sfile
|
|
74 The signature file to embed into the input image. See
|
|
75 .B gen_cox_sig
|
|
76 (1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
|
|
77 .IR file
|
|
78 Input image in PGM format to sign (watermark). Default: standard input.
|
|
79 .TP
|
|
80 .I file
|
|
81 The input image in PGM format.
|
|
82 .PP
|
|
83 .SH OUTPUT
|
|
84 The signed (watermarked) image in PGM format is written to standard output
|
|
85 or, optionally, to
|
|
86 .I ofile.
|
|
87 The embedding process may take some time on large images since the DCT
|
|
88 is performed on the whole image in one step (not block-wise).
|
|
89 .PP
|
|
90 The
|
|
91 .I n
|
|
92 largest coefficients are pulsed to embed the
|
|
93 .I n
|
|
94 bit watermark.
