Data Model and Formula
Experimental Results
Spectrum Partition-Data Model(1)
Embedding:
where
 the watermark {s1, …, sn } is an n-sample known
sequence,
 b: a bit to be embedded and is equally likely to be “-1”
or “+1”,
 di: noise, i.i.d. Gaussian
Spectrum Partition-Data Model(2)
A few considerations

Bits can be embedded in all bands. In many
cases, bits are embedded in mid-band due to
Low band coefficients generally have higher power
 High band coefficients are vulnerable to attacks


Noise Model can be extended to Normal
Distribution with Various Covariance.
Whitening should be performed in such cases

Spectrum Partition-Simulation(1)
Subject: 141 Images
Embedding: the Block-DCT spread spectrum
algorithm proposed by Podilchuk-Zeng
Detection: the q-statistic proposed by Zeng-Liu
Three watermarks are used
Pre-processing:


An estimation of the host signal’s power is performed
based on testing images
A set of known signals are added to help locating host
signal from noise
Spectrum Partition-Simulation(2)
Detection: Defined two statistics: q’ and q, with
and without the weighting
Spectrum Partition-Simulation(3)
Experiments:


DCT coefficients are ordered in zig-zag order
Several distortion are introduced while computing q-statistics



JPEG with different quality factors
Low pass filtering
q-statistics are normalized with respect to number of embeddable
coefficients, see Figures


Q is maximum when the embedding starts around 6-11
Q’ is larger than q and it’s monotone
Conclusion:


For high robustness, embed the bit to mid-band coefficients
For high payload, embed the bit to low-band coefficients
