A new multi-set modulation technique for increasing hiding capacity of Binary Watermark for Print & Scan Processes

چکیده
In this paper we propose a multi-set modulation technique to increase the hiding capacity within a binary document image. As part of this technique we propose an Automatic Threshold Calculation and Threshold Buffering, Shifted Space Distribution and Letter Space Compensation technique. The Automatic Threshold Calculation is used to distinguish word spaces from letter spaces. The Threshold Buffering is used to reduce the chance of misinterpretation of spaces during the detection phase, following printing and scanning. The Shifted Space Distribution and Letter Space Compensation techniques robustly embed a watermark into the binary document image. The Automatic Threshold Calculation has been shown to be successful in identifying word spaces for different types of fonts and font sizes. The combination of the Shifted Space Distribution, Letter Space Compensation and Threshold Buffering techniques have been shown to create a watermark that is robust to printing and scanning.

متن کاملData embedding in hardcopy images via halftone-dot orientation modulation
The principal challenge in hardcopy data hiding is achieving robustness to the print-scan process. Conventional robust hiding schemes are not well-suited because they do not adapt to the print-scan distortion channel, and hence are fundamentally limited in a detection theoretic sense. We consider data embedding in images printed with clustered dot halftones. The input to the print-scan channel ...
متن کاملOrientation Modulation for Data Hiding in Chrominance Channels of Direct Binary Search Halftone Prints
In this article, we propose a joint halftoning and data hiding technique for color images. To ensure high quality of the printed image, the color direct binary search (CDBS) iterative halftoning algorithm is used. The proposed approach uses the commonly available cyan, magenta and yellow colorants to hide data in the chrominance channels. Orientation modulation is used for data embedding during...
متن کاملPrint-Scan Resilient Text Image Watermarking Based on Stroke Direction Modulation for Chinese Document Authentication
Print-scan resilient watermarking has emerged as an attractive way for document security. This paper proposes a stroke direction modulation technique for watermarking in Chinese text images. The watermark produced by the idea offers robustness to print-photocopyscan, yet provides relatively high embedding capacity without losing the transparency. During the embedding phase, the angles of rotata...
متن کاملModeling the print-scan process for resilient data hiding
Print-scan resilient data hiding finds important applications in document security, and image copyright protection. In this paper, we build upon our previous work on print-scan resilient data hiding with the goal of providing a simple mathematical characterization for guiding the design of more sophisticated methods allowing higher volume of embedded data, or achieving more robustness. A model ...
