Visible Watermarks for Digital Images: Traditional Schemes—Blended Marks Unobtrusive visible watermarks aimed at asserting ownership or authenticity
Obtrusive watermarks that can be removed • Similar to scrambling, except that only parts of the image (located on a distinctive pattern) are modified • Example application: user retrieves a watermarked image over the net, pays $$ to print, the printing driver removes the watermark just for printing • Simple for un-lossy-compressed images: Y = X R
Scrambler S E Key K Watermarked JPEG Image JPEG Image D DeScrambler Desired scrambling and descrambling pipeline for compressed images
Format compliance, compression • The XOR idea does not survive lossy JPEG compression • The watermarked image should be format compliant, i.e., in JPEG format • For such completely removable watermarks on JPEG images, we must work with and modify quantized DCT coefficients, not pixels • The size of the watermarked image, ideally, should be no more than the original • We achieve all these goals with the proposed algorithm, DctDots

DctDots: Four “tricks” for corrupting blocks • AC Masks: XOR the AC coefficient magnitude bits • AC Swaps: Swap AC coefficient blocks • DC Shuffles: Shuffle DC differentials within • contiguous pattern blocks • DC Bit Shuffles: Shuffle DC differentials within • contiguous pattern blocks
1. AC Masks AC coefficients are coded as Bits in H are the Huffman code for (run = R, magnitude-category = S), Bits in V are the S magnitude bits (1’s complement) We apply XOR (with a keyed PRNG) to just the bits in V, thus maintaining format-compliance and ensuring that the size is not changed H V
2. AC Swaps • Within a color component, entire blocks of AC coefficients (i.e., the 63 coefficients excluding the DC) can be swapped across blocks lying on the pattern. • The swapping is determined by the PRNG, hence reversible. • Format compliant • Size does not increase
3. DC Shuffles • Quantized DC coefficients are differentially coded, hence tricky • Work with consecutive sequences of blocks to be modified (i.e., on the pattern)
3. DC Shuffles – Contd. • Shuffle the differntial quantized DC values within such a pink sequence • Size does not increase at all • The last block in the sequence undergoes no change to its DC value (thus, include the first white block after the pink sequence in the shuffling)
4. DC Bit Shuffles • This step supplements the DC shuffling step—it also works with the differential DC values from the pink blocks • In this step, we go down to the bit planes of the differential DC term

Conclusion • Different goals compared to traditional visible watermarking • DctDots: Format compliant watermarking technique for obtrusive, visible, removable watermarks on JPEG images • Compressed size is exactly the same • Extension to video—only in restricted cases.
