| 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. | |
| 51 .PP | |
| 52 Please refer to Ingemar J. Cox's paper "Secure Spread Spectrum | |
| 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. | |
| 60 .TP | |
| 61 .B \-h | |
| 62 Print a help message. | |
| 63 .TP | |
| 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. | |
