Digital watermarking

Features

• Emphasizes the underlying watermarking principles that are relevant for all media: images, video, and audio.
• Discusses a wide variety of applications, theoretical principles, detection and embedding concepts and the key properties of digital watermarks—robustness, fidelity, data payload, and security
• Examines copyright protection and many other applications, including broadcast monitoring, transaction tracking, authentication, copy control, and device control.
• Presents a series of detailed examples called "Investigations" that illustrate key watermarking concepts and practices.
• Includes an appendix in the book and on the web containing the source code for the examples.
• Includes a comprehensive glossary of watermarking terminology

All three authors have made significant contributions in watermarking technologies: in particular, for their major roles in the development of a DVD watermark and the technology behind the joint "Galaxy" proposal supported by Hitachi, IBM, NEC, Pioneer, and Sony.
