A novel dual watermarking scheme with potential applications in identity protection, media integrity maintenance and copyright protection in both electronic and printed media is presented. The proposed watermarking scheme uses the owner's signature and fingerprint as watermarks through which the ownership and validity of the media can be proven and kept intact. To begin with, the proposed watermarking scheme is implemented on continuous-tone/greyscale images, and later extended to images achieved via multitoning, an advanced version of halftoning-based printing. The proposed watermark embedding is robust and imperceptible. Experimental simulations and evaluations of the proposed method show excellent results from both objective and subjective view-points.
本文提出了一种新颖的双重水印方案,该方案在电子和印刷媒体的身份保护、媒体完整性维护及版权保护方面具有潜在应用价值。所提出的水印方案将所有者的签名和指纹用作水印,通过这些水印可以证明并保持媒体的所有权和有效性。首先,所提出的水印方案在连续色调/灰度图像上实现,随后扩展到通过多色调(基于半色调印刷的高级版本)获得的图像。所提出的水印嵌入具有鲁棒性且不可察觉。对该方法进行的实验模拟和评估从客观和主观角度均显示出优异的结果。
