+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B wm_koch_d
+is a program to extract signature bits from the 8x8 DCT coefficients of
+an image, embedded with the
+.B wm_koch_e
+watermarking program.
+.B cmp_koch_sig
+program compares and tests the extracted signature against the original signature.
+.PP
+The input image is in PGM (portable graymap) format.
+.PP
+If
+.I file
+or
+.I ofile
+is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
+used. The signature
+.I sfile
+is a mandatory parameter however.
+.PP
+Please refer to E. Koch's paper "Towards Robust and Hidden
+Image Copyright", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a help message.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ ofile
+Output the extracted signature to
+.I ofile
+instead of standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-q \ number
+Quality/robustness factor used to extract the signature.
+Overrides setting from signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-s \ sfile
+The original signature file. See
+.B gen_koch_sig
+(1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
+.BI \-v \ number
+Verbosity level. 0 for quiet operation, higher numbers for more 
+output. Default value: 0.
+.TP
+.IR file
+Signed (watermarked) input image in PGM format. Default: standard input.
+.PP
+.SH OUTPUT
+The extracted signature is written to standard output
+or, optionally, to
+.I ofile.
+.PP
+The extraction algorithm examines the relationship between two random
+coefficients of randomly selected 8x8 DCT blocks to reconstruct the
+signature bits.
+.PP
+The output file has the following format:
+.TP
+.B KCSG
+Magic to identify file type.
+.TP
+.I number
+The length of the signature in bits.
+.TP
+.I number
+The quality/robustness factor.
+.TP
+.I number
+The seed value for the pseudo-random number generator.
+.TP
+.I string
+The actual signature bytes.
