  • Publication number: 20080209220
    Abstract: There is provided a method of detecting a watermark included in a signal by way of quantization index modulation (QIM). The signal with the embedded watermark may have been geometrically transformed (e.g. spatially or temporally scaled) prior to detection. In order to detect the watermark even in such case, the embedder imposes an autocorrelation structure onto the embedded watermark data, for example by tiling. Initially, the detector applies conventional QIM detection. This step yields a first symbol vector, which corresponds to the embedded data when the signal was not tampered with, but does not correspond to the embedded data when the signal was subject to scaling. For example, when one data bit is embedded in each pixel of an image, 50% upsampling of the image causes a QIM detector to retrieve 3 data bits out of 3 received pixels, that is 3 data bits out of 2 original image pixels. Surprisingly, the autocorrelation of the first symbol vector will give a peak for a particular geometric transformation (e.
