+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B wm_koch_e
+is a program to embed signature bits in 8x8 DCT coefficients of
+an image. The signature has to be generated by the
+.B gen_koch_sig
+program. The
+.B wm_koch_d
+program is used to extract a signature from a signed (watermarked) image. The
+.B cmp_koch_sig
+program compares and tests the extracted signature against the original signature.
+.PP
+Both, input and output image,
+are 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.

+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a help message.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ ofile
+Output signed (watermarked) image to
+.I ofile
+instead of standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-q \ number
+Quality/robustness factor used to embed signature into image.
+Overrides setting from signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-s \ sfile
+The signature file to embed into image. See
+.B gen_koch_sig
+(1) for a description of the file format. Mandatory parameter.
+.TP
+.BI \-v \ number
+Verbosity level. 0 for quiet operation, higher numbers for more
+output. Default value: 0.
+.TP
+.IR file
+Input image in PGM format to sign (watermark). Default: standard input.
+.PP
+.SH OUTPUT
+The signed (watermarked) image in PGM format is written to standard output
+or, optionally, to
+.I ofile.
+.PP
+Two coefficients of an 8x8 DCT block are selected at random to embed a
+single signature bit.
