25 .SH DESCRIPTION
26 .B wm_koch_d
27 is a program to extract signature bits from the 8x8 DCT coefficients of
28 an image, embedded with the
29 .B wm_koch_e
30 watermarking program.
31 .B cmp_koch_sig
32 program compares and tests the extracted signature against the original signature.
33 .PP
34 The input image is in PGM (portable graymap) format.
35 .PP
36 If
37 .I file
38 or
39 .I ofile
40 is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
41 used. The signature
42 .I sfile
43 is a mandatory parameter however.
44 .PP
45 Please refer to E. Koch's paper "Towards Robust and Hidden
46 Image Copyright", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.

48 .SH OPTIONS
49 .TP
50 .B \-h
51 Print a help message.
52 .TP
53 .BI \-o \ ofile
54 Output the extracted signature to
55 .I ofile
56 instead of standard output.
57 .TP
58 .BI \-q \ number
59 Quality/robustness factor used to extract the signature.
60 Overrides setting from signature file.
61 .TP
62 .BI \-s \ sfile
63 The original signature file. See
64 .B gen_koch_sig
65 (1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
66 .BI \-v \ number
67 Verbosity level. 0 for quiet operation, higher numbers for more
68 output. Default value: 0.
69 .TP
70 .IR file
71 Signed (watermarked) input image in PGM format. Default: standard input.
72 .PP
73 .SH OUTPUT
74 The extracted signature is written to standard output
75 or, optionally, to
76 .I ofile.
77 .PP
78 The extraction algorithm examines the relationship between two random
79 coefficients of randomly selected 8x8 DCT blocks to reconstruct the
80 signature bits.
81 .PP
82 The output file has the following format:
83 .TP
84 .B KCSG
85 Magic to identify file type.
86 .TP
87 .I number
88 The length of the signature in bits.
89 .TP
90 .I number
91 The quality/robustness factor.
92 .TP
93 .I number
94 The seed value for the pseudo-random number generator.
95 .TP
96 .I string
97 The actual signature bytes.
