초록
본 논문에서는 QIM(Quantization Index Modulation) 워터마킹 방식에서 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질과 워터마크의 강인성을 결정하는 양자화 구간 간격을 크게 하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 양자화 구간 간격을 크게 할 경우, 삽입 강도는 높아지나 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질이 저하되며, 작게 하는 경우는 그 반대가 된다. 그러나 원본 이미지와 워터마크 삽입 후의 예상 결과를 이용하여 양자화 구간 간격을 결정하면 삽입 강도와 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질을 모두 높일 수 있다.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method for enlarging quantization steps of a QIM watermarking scheme which determines the perceptual quality and robustness of the watermarked images. In general, increasing the quantization steps leads to good robustness but poor perceptual quality of watermarked images and vice versa. However, if we choose the quantization steps considering the expected quantization results as well as the original images, we can increase both robustness and perceptual quality of the watermarked images.
