Publication number: 20030172275Abstract: The present invention relates to a protection of copyrights of digital data, and more particularly, to a real-time blind watermarking method using quantization, in which a watermark information for representing ownership is embedded in a digital image, video or the like so as not to be visually or aurally discriminated and is extracted after various attacks such as edit or the like, and which can be used in all compression ways. The real-time video watermarking system is a blind method and is simple. In order to perform DCT with respect to an original frame and enhance the robustness, the watermark is embedded in a low frequency component. Further, since the DCT is not performed with respect to all blocks, the invention has a rapid operation speed regardless of the size of the video frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2002Publication date: September 11, 2003Inventors: Seung Wook Lee, Jin Ho Kim, Won Young Yoo, Young Ho Suh
