Robust bandlimited watermarking with trellis coded modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital watermarking is equivalent to bandlimited, powerlimited digital communication. The power limit is due to the requirement of imperceptible watermarks, and has long been recognized. The bandwidth limit is due to the lowpass spectrum of images and possible lowpass attacks (malicious or unintentional). This is related to the concept of channel capacity, and has only recently been addressed in the context of watermarking. To achieve high reliability without loss of watermark data rates, we propose an adaptation of trellis coded modulation (TCM). Our method is applicable to a wide class of watermarking algorithms. The objective is to maintain the data rate while improving reliability of watermark detection, in terms of bit error rates (BER). Alternatively, higher data rates can be achieved while maintaining watermark BER. We conduct experiments for blind as well as informed detection. Simulation results show significant improvement compared to conventional methods over a wide range of channel (attack) signal-to-noise ratios.

STEGANOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL WATERMARKING Improving the performance of RDM watermarking by means of trellis coded quantisation
We propose a method to improve the performance of the recently introduced rational dither modulation (RDM) watermarking scheme. The improvement is obtained by modifying the essentially scalar nature of RDM with the introduction of a vector quantiser. The vector quantiser is based on a properly modified version of classical trellis coded quantisation, thus leading to the new trellis-coded RDM sc...
متن کاملTrellis coded modulation to improve dirty paper trellis watermarking
Lattice codes and quantization-based techniques have received considerable attention as a method of digital watermarking with side information. However, these algorithms are also recognized to be highly sensitive to common signal processing primitives such as valuemetric scaling, e.g. changes in volume of a song, or re-quantization, e.g. JPEG compression. Hence, it is reasonable to investigate ...

A special construction method for parallel concatenated trellis coded modulation, namely staggered trellis coded modulation, is presented. This coding scheme is similar to that of the recently introduced binary laminated turbo codes and it comprises a convolutional structure due to an additional block-wise memory. The encoder and a possible decoder for this new code construction is presented an...
