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

50 .SH OPTIONS
51 .TP
52 .B \-h
53 Print a help message.
54 .TP
55 .BI \-o \ ofile
56 Output signed (watermarked) image to
57 .I ofile
58 instead of standard output.
59 .TP
60 .BI \-q \ number
61 Quality/robustness factor used to embed signature into image.
62 Overrides setting from signature file.
63 .TP
64 .BI \-s \ sfile
65 The signature file to embed into image. See
66 .B gen_koch_sig
67 (1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
68 .TP
69 .BI \-v \ number
70 Verbosity level. 0 for quiet operation, higher numbers for more
71 output. Default value: 0.
72 .TP
73 .IR file
74 Input image in PGM format to sign (watermark). Default: standard input.
75 .PP
76 .SH OUTPUT
77 The signed (watermarked) image in PGM format is written to standard output
78 or, optionally, to
79 .I ofile.
80 .PP
81 Two coefficients of an 8x8 DCT block are selected at random to embed a
82 single signature bit.
