\begin_layout Abstract
This package provides source code for some watermarking algorithms in hopefully
 portable C code.
 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.

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,

 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.

 The software in the archive is organized in the following sub-directories:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

\begin_layout Description
make/ contains the

 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

\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

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
unless redirected to a file, e.g.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Subsection
\begin_inset LatexCommand label

\end_inset

Utility programs
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A good way to check the effect of a watermarking algorithm is computing
 the difference image, i.e.
 subtracting the original image from the watermarked image.
 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

Recompiling
