34 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
35 .B wm_cox_d
|
|
36 is a program to extract a signature from the DCT coefficients of the watermarked image
|
|
37 .I file.
|
|
38 The
|
|
39 .B cmp_cox_sig
|
|
40 program is used to test the extracted signature against the original signature.
|
|
41 The input image is in PGM (portable graymap) format.
|
|
42 .PP
|
|
43 If
|
|
44 .I file
|
|
45 or
|
|
46 .I ofile
|
|
47 is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
|
|
48 used.
|
|
49 .PP
|
|
50 .B gen_cox_sig
|
|
51 is used to generate a signature file,
|
|
52 .B wm_cox_e
|
|
53 embeds the signature into an image.
|
|
54 .PP

|
55 Please refer to Ingemar J. Cox's paper "Secure Spread Spectrum
|
|
56 Watermarking for Multimedia", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.

|
|
60 .BI \-a \ number
|
|
61 Alpha factor that determines embedding strength of the signature.
|
|
62 Allows to override the setting in the signature file.

66 .TP
|
|
67 .BI \-i \ ifile
|
|
68 The original image.
|
|
69 .TP
|
|
70 .BI \-o \ ofile
|
|
71 Output watermarked image to the specified
|
|
72 .I file
|
|
73 instead of standard output.
|
|
74 .TP
|
|
75 .BI \-q \ number
|
|
76 Set quantization/quality factor. Overrides the setting in the signature
|
|
77 file.
|
|
78 .TP
|
|
79 .BI \-v \ number
|
|
80 Verbosity level. Default value: 0.
|
|
81 .TP
|
|
82 .BI \-s \ sfile
|
|
83 The signature file to embed into the input image. See
|
|
84 .B gen_cox_sig
|
|
85 (1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
|
|
86 .IR file
|
|
87 Input image in PGM format to sign (watermark). Default: standard input.
|
|
88 .TP
|
|
89 .I
|
|
90 The watermarked image file in PGM format.
|
|
91 .PP
|
|
92 .SH OUTPUT
|
|
93 The signed (watermarked) image in PGM format is written to standard output
|
|
94 or ,optionally, to
|
|
95 .I ofile.
|
|
96 The embedding process may take some time on large images since the DCT
|
|
97 is performed on the whole image in one step (not block-wise).
|
|
98 .PP
|
|
99 .PP
|
|
100 The output file has the following format:
|
|
101 .TP
|
|
102 .B CXSG
|
|
103 Magic to identify file type.
|
|
104 .TP
|
|
105 .I number
|
|
106 The length of the signature in bits.
|
|
107 .TP
|
|
108 .I number
|
|
109 The alpha factor (embedding strength).
|
|
110 .TP
|
|
111 .I number
|
|
112 The quantization/quality factor.
|
|
113 .TP
|
|
114 .I numbers
|
|
115 The actual normal distributed signature values, one per line.
