The programs can be used to study watermarking techniques, perform comparative robustness tests and develop new attacks against embedded watermarks. \end_layout \begin_layout Abstract However, the provided programs are by no means suitable for real-world applicati on (i.e. copyright protection) and the code solely serves some educational purpose. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand tableofcontents \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Introduction \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Academic research in the watermarking field has grown dramatically since approximately 1995. But surprisingly, source code for the proposed watermarking schemes has not been made available. The reason is most likely the security of many watermarking systems lies at least to some extent in the embedding and detection algorithm itself, and not in the keys used -- violating the Kerckhoff principle \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "Kerckhoff1883a" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the availability of public robustness test for watermarking algorithms, StirMark \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "Petitcolas99c, Petitcolas98b, Petitcolas98a" \end_inset , Unzign \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "http://www.altern.org/watermark" \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset and very recently Checkmark \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "Pereira01b" \end_inset , the situation begins to improve. Now it is possible to measure the performance of watermarking systems. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In order the compare and evaluate new embedding and detection techniques, it is also necessary to have some reference implementations of the older, now often called classical schemes. In this work, we provide some implementations of watermarking schemes, some of which can be considered 'classical'. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It was the goal to capture the main ideas of the proposed algorithms, as layed out in the respective papers. This is clearly not an easy task as some papers do not disclose all details or state which particular parameters were used to obtain the results outlined in the communications. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard I am very interested in hearing your comments, complaints and suggestions regarding this software. Moreover, if you have source code for a watermarking scheme not yet covered or some useful utility I would be happy to include your code in this distributi on. Please see the contact information at the top of this document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you use the accompanying code, please cite my thesis: \end_layout \begin_layout Quotation Peter Meerwald, Digital Image Watermarking in the Wavelet Transform Domain, Master's Thesis, Department of Scientific Computing, University of Salzburg, Austria, January 2001. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Software \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Most of the software provided herein was written by myself, as part of my Master thesis. Some contributions were made by Vassilis Fotopoulos \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "mailto:vfotop1@physics.upatras.gr" \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset . The software in the archive is organized in the following sub-directories: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Fotopoulos/ contains contributions by Vassilis Fotopoulos \end_layout \begin_layout Description Meerwald/ contains my work \end_layout \begin_layout Description images/ contains the Lena image in PGM format; the default parameters of most algorithms are tuned to work best with that image \end_layout \begin_layout Description linux_bin/ the place where the Linux executables are stored in the binary distribution \end_layout \begin_layout Description win32_bin/ the place where Windows 32-bit executables are distributed; tested with Windows NT 4.0 only \end_layout \begin_layout Description make/ contains the \family typewriter \size small Makefile \family default \size default options to build the code on supported platforms \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For the purpose of this software package, a watermarking system comprises four parts, namely: signature generation, watermark embedding, watermark extraction and signature comparison or detection -- with the exception of Vassilis's code; there are only cast and test programs (corresponds to watermark embedding and detection). Signature is used more less as a synonym for mark and can be thought of as the payload (at least for some schemes :-). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard All programs only accept the image in NetPBM format and will also produce only NetPBM-format files (see section \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:prereq" \end_inset ). Unfortunately, most programs have only been tested with 8-bit gray-scale images of size \begin_inset Formula $512\times512.$ \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In order to simplify batch testing, the programs allow to read either from a file, e.g. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small wm_cox_e -s cox.sig \family default \family typewriter \series bold image.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard or from standard input, i.e. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard wm_cox_e -s cox.sig \series bold < image.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The output is usually written to standard output, i.e. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small wm_cox_e -s cox.sig image.pgm \family default \family typewriter \series bold > wm_image.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard unless redirected to a file, e.g. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small wm_cox_e -s cox.sig \family default \family typewriter \series bold -o wm_image.pgm \family default \series default \family typewriter image.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Featured algorithms \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Currently it includes the following watermarking algorithms \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Bruyndonckx [bruyn], refer to \end_layout \begin_layout Quotation O.

Alternatively, one can also have a look at the modified coefficients in the transform domain. The following programs facilitate these tasks: \end_layout \begin_layout Description cmp_pgm compute difference image, PSNR, ... \end_layout \begin_layout Description cmp_dct compute full-frame DCT domain difference image \end_layout \begin_layout Description cmp_dct8x8 compute 8x8 block-based DCT difference image \end_layout \begin_layout Description cmp_dwt compute DWT domain difference image \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For example, to produce the difference image of two PGM files and compute the PSNR along with some other measures, the following command can be used: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small cmp_pgm -p -i original.pgm -o diff.pgm watermarked.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Section Usage \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note, almost all programs will output usage information if called with the \family typewriter \size small -h \family default \size default argument. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Generating a mark \end_layout \begin_layout Standard First, you have to generate an appropriate signature file for the corresponding embedding/detection algorithm; e.g. if you are going to use Cox' scheme, then you would run \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small gen_cox_sig \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The programs outputs some parameters and a sequence of Gaussian distributed random numbers (which is the watermark sequence). You want to save that into a signature file, so you run \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small gen_cox_sig > cox.sig or \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small gen_cox_sig -o cox.sig \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can influence e.g. the embedding strength that will be used in the embedding step by running \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small gen_cox_sig -a 0.5 > too_strong_cox.sig \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Usually, the programs for generating a signature will supply reasonable default values for marking a 8-bit gray-scale image of size \begin_inset Formula $512\times512.$ \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Watermark embedding \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Watermark embedding is performed with the following command (for our example, we are using Cox' scheme): \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small wm_cox_e -s cox.sig -o cox_lena.pgm lena.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The signature file is parsed to obtain the particular watermark sequence and the embedding strength. The watermarked image is written to the file \family typewriter \size small cox_lena.pgm \family default \size default . Now it the time to check the perceptual quality of the produced image and also have a look at the difference image (see section \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:utility_programs" \end_inset ). \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Watermark extraction \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To extract the embedded signature, we execute the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small wm_cox_d -s cox.sig -i lena.pgm -o cox.wm cox_lena.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Since Cox' algorithm is not blind, the original image is needed as a reference to extract the embedded mark. The embedded mark will be stored in \family typewriter \size small cox.wm \family default \size default . The original signature, \family typewriter \size small cox.sig \family default \size default , is used to get the auxiliary embedding parameter correct (e.g. embedding strength). \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Comparing the mark \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The final step is comparing the original signature against the extracted signature. The result here is usually a correlation factor. Values around 0 indicate that the mark has not been found, values around 1. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In most programs a analytical detection threshold for some detection probability is not used. Hence, one has to observe the output of the detector for many different keys (around 1000 I'd suggest) to establish a reasonable threshold for detection. A good value to go with initially might be 0.2 which means we claim the watermark detected if the correlation factor is > 0.2. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The appropriate command for comparing the mark is \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small cmp_cox_sig -s cox.sig cox.wm \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Batch testing - benchmarking \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you want to run many test you can pipe the images to be do be watermarked (and tested) through the embedder and detector. The programs then act like a filter. Try something like the following in a Unix shell script: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small gen_cox_sig > cox.sig \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small for i in *.pgm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small do \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small \InsetSpace ~ \InsetSpace ~ wm_cox_e -s cox.sig $i | \backslash \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small \InsetSpace ~ \InsetSpace ~ wm_cox_d -s cox.sig -i $i | \backslash \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small \InsetSpace ~ \InsetSpace ~ cmp_cox_sig -s cox.sig \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family typewriter \size small done \end_layout \begin_layout Section \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:recompile" \end_inset Recompiling \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note, that most watermark embedding/extraction programs use the built-in random number generator of the C library, i.e. \family typewriter \size small srandom() \family default \size default and \family typewriter \size small random(). \family default \size default Therefore, if you recompile, chances are that you won't be able to use your images watermarked with the previous version. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The Makefile options for compiling on the different platforms can be found in the \family typewriter \size small make/ \family default \size default sub-directory of the archive. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:prereq" \end_inset Prerequisites \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection NetPBM \end_layout \begin_layout Standard NetPBM is responsible for image file I/O and provides a definition of a simple image file format along with many image file format filters that allow to convert images to and from NetPBM format. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You need to get and install the NetPBM library at \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM/" \end_inset or \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "http://netpbm.sourceforge.net" \end_inset . The library provides \family typewriter \size small pgm.h \family default \size default and the appropriate implementation. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection getopt \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When compiling on Windows, the getopt() function call required. An implementation of getopt() can be found in the NetPBM package. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Unix/Linux platform \end_layout \begin_layout Standard All programs were developed using Linux and GNU C. The programs should compile and work with all recent versions of Linux and GNU C. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:win32_compile" \end_inset Win32 platform \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The programs were ported to the Windows platform using the Cygwin \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "http://www.cygwin.com" \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset and Mingw \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand url target "http://www.mingw.org" \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset environment. Most notable, the file mode for standard input and standard output has to be set to binary mode. This is accomplished with the \family typewriter \size small setmode() \family default \size default or \family typewriter \size small _fsetmode() \family default \size default commands. \end_layout \begin_layout Section FAQ \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Q: How can I report problems? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A: See the contact information at the beginning of this document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Q: The compiler complains about \family typewriter \size small pgm.h \family default \size default ? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A: You need to get and install the NetPBM library, see section \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:prereq" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Q: What is the best algorithm? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A: Depends on your application. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Q: What is the most robust algorithm? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A: Depends on the attack.

Use the signature generation command to specify an absolute path if necessary. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Q: I can't compile the code using some Microsoft product? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A: Make your life easier, install GNU software!
