abstract = {A digital watermark is an invisible mark embedded in a digital image
which may be used for a number of different purposes including image
captioning and copyright protection. This paper describes how a combination
of spread spectrum encoding of the embedded message and transform-based
invariants can be used for digital image watermarking. In particular,
it is described how a Fourier-Mellin-based approach can be used to
construct watermarks which are designed to be unaffected by any combination
of rotation and scale transformations. In addition, a novel method
of CDMA spread spectrum encoding is introduced which allows one to
embed watermark messages of arbitrary length and which need only
a secret key for decoding. The paper also describes the usefulness
of Reed Solomon error-correcting codes in this scheme.},

Arousal assessment is then formulated as a classification problem,
with classes corresponding to 2 or 3 degrees of arousal. The performance
of 2 classifiers has been evaluated, on peripheral signals, on EEG's,
and on both. Results confirm the possibility of using EEG's to assess
the arousal component of emotion, and the interest of multimodal
fusion between EEG's and peripheral physiological signals.},

image retrieval on a database containing several hundreds of images.
The goal is to facilitate the task of television broadcasters, and
specifically archivists, while looking for a piece of news or a documentary.
Currently, they perform a text-based query in a database, and then
visualize numerous video tapes to find the specific clip they were
looking for. Content-based search opens new horizons for performing
this task because it is faster and more user-friendly. We describe
two methods for content-based image retrieval. The first one is based
on the Haar wavelet decompositions of images, which has already been
used for image retrieval. We propose enhancements and optimizations
to get more accurate results. The second method is a novel one, and
exploits invariant properties of the Fourier-Mellin transform in
order to overcome some limitations of the wavelet-based method. We
finally compare both methods and discuss about the results we obtained.
We show that the results given by the Fourier-Mellin based method
are better suited for content-based image retrieval.},

abstract = {This paper proposes a new approach for assessing the presence of a
digital watermark in images and videos. This approach relies on a
Bayesian formulation that allows to compute the probability that
a watermark was generated using a given key. The watermarking itself
relies on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of the image, of video
frames or of three dimensional chunks of video scene. Two kinds of
information are hidden in the digital data: a watermark and a template.
Both are encoded using an owner key to ensure the system security
and are embedded in the 2D or 3D DFT magnitude of the image or video.
The watermark is encoded in the form of a spread spectrum signal.
The template is a key based grid and is used to detect and invert
the effect of an affine geometric transformation (rotations, scaling
and/or aspect ratio change) or in the case of the video frame-rate
changes, aspect-ratio modification and rescaling of frames. It is
shown that, for the spread spectrum signal described in the paper,
it is possible to positively detect the presence of a watermark without
necessarily decoding it, given only the key used to generate it.
To do that, the Bayesian approach allows the deduction of the relative
log-probability of the presence of a watermark in an image given
only the key. All that is required for positive watermark verification
is the key. This approach also allows to infer the number of bits
contained in the watermark. The performance of the presented techniques
and the usefulness of the relative log-probability are shown through
various applications and experimental results.},

abstract = {This paper proposes a new approach for digital watermarking and secure
copyright protection of videos, the principal aim being to discourage
illicit copying and distribution of copyrighted material. The method
presented here is based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of
three dimensional chunks of video scene, in contrast with previous
works on video watermarking where each video frame was marked separately,
or where only intra-frame or motion compensation parameters were
marked in MPEG compressed videos. Two kinds of information are hidden
in the video: a watermark and a template. Both are encoded using
an owner key to ensure the system security and are embedded in the
3D DFT magnitude of video chunks. The watermark is a copyright information
encoded in the form of a spread spectrum signal. The template is
a key based grid and is used to detect and invert the effect of frame-rate
changes, aspect-ratio modification and rescaling of frames. The template
search and matching is performed in the log-log-log map of the 3D
DFT magnitude. The performance of the presented technique is evaluated
experimentally and compared with a frame-by-frame 2D DFT watermarking
approach.},

abstract = {The rapidly growing digital multimedia market has revealed an urgent
need for effective copyright protection mechanisms. Therefore, digital
audio, image and video watermarking has recently become a very active
area of research. Many important issues have been pointed out, one
of them being the robustness to non-intentional and intentional attacks.
This paper studies some attacks and proposes countermeasures applied
to videos. General attacks are lossy copying/transcoding (such as
MPEG compression and digital/analogic conversion), changes of frame-rate,
changes of display format, and geometrical distortions. More specific
attacks are sequence edition, and statistical attacks such as averaging
or collusion. Averaging attack consists of the local averaging of
consecutive frames in order to cancel the watermark. This attack
works well for schemes which embed random independent marks into
frames. In collusion attacks the watermark is first estimated by
averaging frames from different scenes, and is then substracted from
each frame. Collusion works well when the same mark was embedded
in all frames. The proposed countermeasure first ensures robustness
to general attacks by Spread Spectrum encoding of the watermark in
the frequency domain and by the use of an additional synchronization
template. Secondly, a Bayesian criterion which evaluates the probability
of a correctly decoded watermark, is used for the rejection the of
outliers, that is of incorrect watermarks. This Bayesian approach
also allows to resit to statistical attacks. The idea is to embed
randomly chosen marks among a finite set of marks, into subsequences
of videos which are long enough to resist averaging attacks, but
short enough to avoid collusion attacks. The Bayesian criterion is
needed to select the correct mark at the decoding step. Finally,
the paper presents experimental results showing the robustness of
the proposed method.},

neurologues tr\`es sp\'ecialis\'es sont amen\'es \`a examiner des
centaines d'images radiographi\'ees et \`a d\'etecter des dizaines
d'anomalies telles que des d\'eplacements vert\'ebraux. Ce travail
minutieux n\'ecessite un professionnalisme sans \'egal et une concentration
extr\^eme. Les cas \'etudi\'es ne pr\'esentent que tr\`es rarement
des probl\`emes visibles \`a l'\oeil nu et des mesures particuli\`erement
pr\'ecises d\'ecident toujours d'un besoin d'intervention du m\'edecin.
Ainsi, les h\^opitaux utilisent des techniques d'avant-garde en mati\`ere
d'informatique et ont pouss\'e le d\'eveloppement de logiciels aidant
le m\'edecin dans son travail avec les patients. D\'esormais, le
domaine de l'imagerie m\'edicale et plus particuli\`erement celui
du traitement d'images radiographi\'ees propose un vaste champ d'application
pour des travaux de recherche. Dans le pr\'esent document nous nous
int\'eressons aux radiographies de patients en traitement \`a l'H\^opital
Cantonal Universitaire de Gen\`eve et plus particuli\`erement de
la Clinique de R\'e\'education. Nous pr\'esentons tout d'abord une
base logicielle pour des applications dans le domaine d'imagerie
m\'edicale suivie d'une automatisation de mesures sur les angles
intervert\'ebraux. De nombreux groupes de recherche se sont int\'eress\'es
aux coupes effectu\'ees par des scanners IRM et ont produit des logiciels
d'analyse pouss\'es. Les aspects comme la simulation en trois dimensions
et la m\'edecine \`a distance sont largement explor\'es. En revanche,
nous offrons une approche plus ax\'ee sur les mesures de distances
et d'angles. Ainsi, Rx-Cervicales, le logiciel d\'evelopp\'e dans
le cadre de ce travail offre principalement une base vectorielle
mais n'omet toutefois point l'aspect traitement d'images gr\^ace
\`a de nombreux filtres. Rx-Cervicales permet \'egalement de superposer
des images, d'en modifier la taille et d'effectuer des d\'eplacements
et des rotations libres. Par la suite, nous \'etudions ici la reconnaissance
de contours sur des calques de radiographies et permettons au m\'edecin
de mesurer des angles entre deux clich\'es de flexion et d'extension
de la colonne cervicale ou lombaire du m\^eme patient puis de comparer
ces r\'esultats avec des valeurs d'individus sains. Ainsi, des anomalies
peuvent \^etre d\'etect\'ees par l'ordinateur en quelques secondes.
Notons que notre produit est directement utilis\'e par la Clinique
de R\'e\'education de l'HCUG. En conclusion, soulignons que malgr\'e
le nombre important de groupes de recherche et d'institutions travaillant
dans ce domaine, il n'existe pas \`a notre connaissance, de logiciels
semblables \`a celui propos\'e dans le pr\'esent travail de recherche.
Donc, nous fournissons un outil, muni d'une premi\`ere application,
qui montre l'efficacit\'e de l'approche utilis\'ee et laisse entrevoir
de larges perspectives d'avenir.},

abstract = {This paper describes a motion-analysis system, applied to the problem
of vehicle tracking in real-world highway scenes. The system is structured
in two stages. In the first one, a motion-detection algorithm performs
a figure/ground segmentation, providing binary masks of the moving
objects. In the second stage, vehicles are tracked for the rest of
the sequence, by using Kalman filters on two state vectors, which
represent each target's position and velocity. A vehicle's motion
is represented by an affine model, taking into account translations
and scale changes. Three types of features have been used for the
vehicle's description state vectors. Two of them are contour-based:
the bounding box and the centroid of the convex polygon approximating
the vehicles contour. The third one is region-based and consists
of the 2-D pattern of the vehicle in the image. For each of these
features, the performance of the tracking algorithm has been tested,
in terms of the position error, stability of the estimated motion
parameters, trace of the motion model's covariance matrix, as well
as computing time. A comparison of these results appears in favor
of the use of the bounding box features.},

protection of digital images. A system for generating digital watermarks
and for trading watermarked images is described. The system is based
on a new watermarking technique, which is robust against image transformation
techniques such as compression, rotation, translation, scaling and
cropping. It uses modulation of the magnitude components in Fourier
space to embed a watermark and an accompanying template. During the
watermark extraction,the template is read in the log polar transform
of the frequency domain. The template is used for analyzing scaling
and rotation suffered by the watermarked stego-image. The detection
of the watermarks is also possible without any need for the original
cover-image. In addition, the system applies asymmetric cryptographic
protocols for different purposes, namely embedding/detecting the
watermark and transferring watermarked data. The public key technique
is applied for the construction of a one-way watermark embedding
and the verification function to identify and prove the uniqueness
of the watermark. Legal dispute resolution is supported for the multiple
watermarking of a digital image without revealing the confidential
keying information.},

of driver licenses, passports or other analogue identification documents.
The system embeds (detects) the reference number of the identification
document with the DCT watermark technology in (from) the owner photo
of the identification document holder. Since the watermark technology
is resistant against many image distortions such as affine transformations,
lossy compression, quantization, dithering and other common image
processing operations, the owner photo my even be damaged without
any performance decrease in the detection process. During verification
the reference number is extracted and compared with the reference
number printed in the in the identification document. The approach
combines optical and digital image processing techniques. The detection
system must be able to scan an analogue driver license or passport,
convert the image of this document into a digital representation
and then apply the watermark verification algorithm to check the
payload of the embedded watermark. If the payload of the watermark
is identical with the printed visual reference number of the issuer,
the verification was successful and the passport or driver license
has not been modified. This approach constitutes a new class of application
for the watermark technology, which was originally targeted for the
copyright protection of digital multimedia data. The presented approach
substantially increases the security of the analogue identification
documents applied in many European countries.},

from a single 2-D view is presented. This recognition relies on the
assumption that every object can be decomposed into component parts
that belong to a finite set or alphabet of volumetric primitives
(geons). For each possible primitive from the permissible set, a
conditional probability function is computed. This law specifies
the probability of obtaining the primitive given an observable 2-
D measure or feature. The distribution functions are determined by
simulation, on the basis of a representative number of random projections
of the primitives. The measures themselves are chosen in such a way
that they can easily be extracted from real images and their discriminative
power for the volumetric primitive inference is high. Examples illustrate
the proposed approach.}

new X Window / OSF Motif version of LaboImage, as it is seen by the
user. It also describes how an image is manipulated in the system,
how processing methods are applied and results are visualized. Multiple
types of interaction between the user and the system are addressed.
The implementation aspects are then detailed. They concern data structures
as well as algorithms and interfaces. The data file and descriptor
file formate used for strong images is described. The organization
in memory of multiple data such as images, vectors, and macros is
presented. The source code organization is also discussed. A clear
separation between algorithmic and interface parts in the code appears
to be very important, in order to allow easy further developments
of the system.}

these approaches still do not perform convincingly better than plain
text search approaches when applied to large, noisy collections like
web content, even though these approaches have more information at
their hands. This article suggests that, due to the size and noise,
the modality’s dependencies necessary for efficient information fusion
becomes small and hard to exploit. Preliminary experiments with two
multi modal collections underpin this statement.* },

in this paper. Two main setups are analyzed, i.e., based on fusion
of dependent and independent modalities, respectively. The analysis
is performed in terms of attainable probability of detection errors
characterized by the corresponding error exponents. It is demonstrated
that an expected performance gain from fusion of dependent modalities
is superior than in the case when one fuses independent signals.
In order to quantify the efficiency of dependent modality fusion
versus the independent case, the problem analysis is performed in
the Gaussian formulation.},

abstract = {Research in digital watermarking has progressed along two paths. While
new watermarking technologies are being developed, some researchers
are also investigating di erent ways of attacking digital watermarks.
Common attacks to watermarks usually aim to destroy theembedded watermark
or to impair its detection. In this paper we propose a conceptually
new attack for digitally watermarked images. The proposed attack
doesnot destroy anembedded watermark, but copies it from one image
to a di erent image. Although this new attack does not destroy awatermark
or impair its detection, it creates new challenges, especially when
watermarks are used for copyright protection and identi cation. The
process of copying the watermark requires neither algorithmic knowledge
of the watermarking technology nor the watermarking key. The attack
is based on an estimation of the embedded watermark in the spatial
domain through a ltering process. The estimate of the watermark is
then adapted and inserted into the target image. To illustrate the
performance of the proposed attack we applied it to commercial and
non-commercial watermarking schemes. The experiments showed that
the attack is very e ective in copying a watermark from one image
to a di erent image. In addition, we have a closer look at application
dependent implications of this new attack.},

of the visual cortex, using oscillations. We propose a hierarchy
of three processing modules corresponding to different levels of
representation. The first layer encodes the input image (stimulus)
into an array of units, while the second layer consists of a network
of FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators. The dynamical behaviour of the coupled
oscillators is rigorously investigated and a stimulus-driven synchronization
theorem is derived. However, this module reveals itself insufficient
to correctly encode and segregate different objects when they have
similar gray-levels in the input image. Therefore, a third layer
connected in a feedback loop with the oscillators is added. This
ensures synchronization (resp. desynchronization) of neuron ensembles
representing the same (resp. a different) object. Simulation results
are presented using synthetic as well as real and noisy gray-level
images.},

abstract = {This paper adresses the problem of modeling object segmentation in
the visual cortex using oscillations. The proposed architecture is
based on a network of locally connected FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators
which receive graded external input. We show the suitability of such
a network to encode the stimulus since the amplitude of oscillations
increases monotonically as a function of the input in the neighborhood
of a bifurcation, while the frequency remains nearly constant. However,
due to the diffusive effects of the Laplacian connectivity, the oscillators
tend to be in phase even when they represent different objects. Therefore
a desynchronization mechanism, which represents spatial information
about the objects, is added. The overall dynamics are described and
simulation results on real images are shown.},

abstract = {The Potato Operation is a collaborative, multidisciplinary project
in the domain of destructive testing of agricultural products. It
aims at automatizing pulp sampling of potatoes in order to detect
possible viral diseases. Such viruses can decrease fields productivity
by a factor of up to ten. A machine, composed of three conveyor belts,
a vision system, a robotic arm and controlled by a PC has been built.
Potatoes are brought one by one from a bulk to the vision system,
where they are seized by a rotating holding device. The sprouts,
where the viral activity is maximum, are then detected by an active
vision process operating on multiple views. The 3D coordinates of
the sampling point are communicated to the robot arm holding a drill.
Some flesh is then sampled by the drill, then deposited into an Elisa
plate. After sampling, the robot arm washes the drill in order to
prevent any contamination. The PC computer simultaneously controls
these processes, the conveying of the potatoes, the vision algorithms
and the sampling procedure. The master process, that is the vision
procedure, makes use of three methods to achieve the sprouts detection.
A profile analysis first locates the sprouts as protuberances. Two
frontal analyses, respectively based on fluorescence and local variance,
confirm the previous detection and provide the 3D coordinate of the
sampling zone. The other two processes work by interruption of the
master process.},

multimedia information processing systems. This class of systems
is very wide and numerous instances are presented in the relevant

the classical scheme of specification, development and test. However,
in most cases, the evaluation of these systems is related to each
particular system. Our aim here is to abstract the class of multimedia
systems in order to present a base framework via which systems could
be formally compared. This paper analyzes the construction of such
a multimedia benchmark by looking at the system from different angles
and inheriting from techniques in related fields. Examples of known
multimedia system benchmarks are discussed.}

abstract = {Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has now reached a mature stage.
Search techniques are well-categorized and several research prototypes
or commercial products are available. However, CBIR true performance
is still difficult to quantify. Setting up a CBIR benchmark is a
heavy task and can only be done via the collaboration of all parties
involved in the research and development of CBIR prototypes and related
commercial products. The Benchathlon effort proposes to create such
a context in which CBIR will be evaluated thoroughly and objectively.
In this paper, we present the Benchathlon and its objectives in more
details. The goal of CBIR benchmarking has been divided into various
parallel and inter-related sub-tasks. One essential such task is
the definition of ground truth data. Since no such data exists, the
image collection is to be constructed from scratch. Copyright issues
should be resolved so as to be able to freely distribute, extend
and modify this collection. Further, different sub-collections should
be available for different specialized applications. It is also acknowledged
here that no unique ground truth exists. Techniques to account for
user subjectivity should therefore be developed. Considering the
effort involved, tools for easing the task of data annotation need
also to be designed. Related to this is the definition of objective
quantitative performance measures. These measures should be both
thorough and orthogonal. In other words, they should allow for a
complete evaluation and highlight weaknesses and strengths of the
CBIR system under evaluation. The goal being both to compare systems
and to help system developers to profile their techniques. To use
this data in practical evaluation, there is also the need for defining
standard test queries and result sets. Domain-specific constraints
will strongly influence the design of such test cases. Another aspect
is the feasibility of CBIR benchmarking. This imposes the definition
of a flexible software architecture enabling automated benchmarking
while leading to little (optimally no) programming overhead. Again,
legal issues about the openness of the systems under evaluation should
be accounted for. In our paper, we also shortly present the solutions
proposed by the Viper team at University of Geneva. These realizations
are gathered under the umbrella of our GIFT project where the central
feature is the Multimedia Retrieval Markup Language (MRML), an XML-based
communication protocol that we think is a necessary tool for enabling
CBIR benchmarking. We describe the architecture of our MRML-based
benchmark and sketch results for the Viper search engine.}

by an active vision system to generate gaze changes. This module
is based on a bottom-up, feature-driven analysis of the image. The
results are regions of the input image which contain strange features,
i.e., locations of the most `interesting' and `important' information.
The method proposed for detecting such regions is based on the decomposition
of the input image into a set of independent retinotopic feature
maps. Each map represents the value of a certain attribute computed
on a set of low-level primitives such as contours and regions. Relevant
objects can be detected if the corresponding primitives have a feature
value strongly different from the neighboring ones. Local comparisons
of feature values are used to compute such measures of `difference'
for each feature map and give rise to a corresponding set of conspicuity
maps. In order to obtain a single measure of interest for each location
and to make the process robust to noise, a relaxation algorithm is
run on the set of conspicuity maps. A dozen iterations are sufficient
to detect a binary mask identifying the attention regions. Results
on real scenes are presented.},

abstract = {We describe a method for computing an image signature, suitable for
content-based retrieval from image databases. The signature is extracted
from the Fourier power spectrum by performing a mapping from cartesian
to logarithmic-polar coordinates, projecting this mapping onto two
1D signature vectors, and computing their power spectra coefficients.
Similar to wavelet-based approaches, this representation is \emph{holistic}
and, thus, provides a compact description of all image aspects, including
shape, texture, and color. Furthermore, it has the advantage of being
invariant to 2D rigid transformations, such as any combination of
rotation, scaling, and translation. Experiments have been conducted
on a database of 2082 images extracted from various news video clips.
Results confirm invariance to 2D rigid transformations, as well as
high resilience to more general affine and projective transformations.
Moreover, the signature appears to capture perceptually relevant
image features, in that it allows successful database querying using
example images which have been subject to arbitrary camera and subject
motion.}

abstract = {Recent advances in storage, computing and communication technology
have created the need for efficient, user-friendly access methods
to multimedia archives. In this paper we address the problem of automatically
extracting visual descriptions suitable for indexing images and videos
in a database. A new method is proposed, and its applicability is
shown using a collection of still images extracted from a video archive.
Contrarily to classical approaches, which describe different image
aspects (e.g. color, shape, texture) separately, we take on a holistic
approach, through the use of integral transforms. In this way, a
unique multidimensional descriptor is available to represent all
image aspects, and the user is not required to combine multiple independent
rankings. With respect to other holistic approaches, such as those
based on the wavelet transform, we seek a superior robustness to
image transformations such as translation, rotation, and scaling.
[insert abstract2] Invariance to rotation, translation and scaling
has been verified for the ideal case of rigid 2D image transformations,
as well as using images that have been transformed through camera
motion (pan/tilt/rotation) and zooming effects. An experimental database
has been created using various TV news clips. Shots presenting considerable
camera motion, zooming, as well as unrestricted subject motion have
been detected, and a number of still images have been extracted from
each of them, for a total of 2'082 images. This shot-based clustering
naturally provides a ground truth for the desired similarity rankings.
Experimental results yield on average 67\% recall for the 12 top-ranked
hits, and 54\% precision at 100\% recall. This shows that, although
the signature is only meant to conceal rigid 2D euclidean transformations,
it is highly resilient to much more complex transformations (projection,
arbitrary subject motion, subject appearance/disappearance), and
seemingly captures perceptually relevant image features.},
abstract2 = {The proposed image signature is obtained through the following steps.
First, translation invariance is obtained by computing the Fourier
power spectrum. A coordinate change from cartesian to logarithmic-polar
maps rotation and scaling transformations into shifts in the transformed
space. These quasi-invariant properties are preserved under projection
of this 2D representation onto two 1D normalized orthogonal subspaces.
The latter describe, respectively, the probability density of the
image's spectrum coefficients with respect to the orientation and
scale. Finally, complete invariance to rotation and scaling is again
achieved by computing the Fourier power spectrum of these vectors,
and by suppressing their even-symmetry components. In practice, this
image representation by two 2D signature vectors proves to be very
compact (64 coefficients for each color plane of 256x256 images)
and prone to efficient implementations, both for signature extraction
and for indexing (matching with other images of a database). Moreover
tools can easily be devised in order to identify the most relevant
aspects of a query image (e.g. its dominant frequency range, the
relevance of chromatic information, etc.). User-entered relevance
weights can indeed be employed to modulate the distance function
in the R64 space.},

qualities is achieved by learning different classification masks.
For the second task, the optical flow is processed in order to distinguish
between stationary and moving shots. A least-squares fitting procedure
determines the pan/tilt/zoom camera parameters within shots that
present regular motion. Each shot is then indexed by a vector representing
the dominant motion components and the type of motion. In order to
minimize processing speed, all techniques process and analyze directly
MPEG-1 motion vectors, without need for video decompression. An overall
processing rate of 59 frames/s is achieved on software. The successful
classification performance, evaluated on various news video clips
for a total of 61,023 frames, attains 97.7\% for the shot segmentation,
88.4\% for the stationary vs. moving shot classification, and 94.7\%

a variety of strategies for positive and negative feedback. The performance
evaluation of feedback algorithms is a hard problem. To solve this,
we obtain judgments from several users and employ an automated feedback
scheme. We can then evaluate different techniques using the same
judgments. Using automated feedback, the ability of a system to adapt

the utility of negative feedback, especially over several feedback

abstract = {Benchmarking has always been a crucial problem in content-based image
retrieval (CBIR). A key issue is the lack of a common access method
to retrieval systems, such as SQL for relational databases. The Multimedia
Retrieval Mark-up Language (MRML) solves this problem by standardizing
access to CBIR systems (CBIRSs). Other difficult problems are also
shortly addressed, such as obtaining relevance judgments and choosing
a database for performance comparison. In this article we present
a fully automated benchmark for CBIRSs based on MRML, which can be
adapted to any image database and almost any kind of relevance judgment.
The test evaluates the performance of positive and negative relevance
feedback, which can be generated automatically from the relevance
judgments. To illustrate our purpose, a freely available, non-copyright
image collection is used to evaluate our CBIRS, \emph{Viper}. All
scripts described here are also freely available for download.},

the importance of features from analyzing user log files of a content-based

of the \emph{Viper} web demonstration system a re analyzed over a
period of four months. Within this period about 3500 accesses to
the system were made w ith almost 800 multiple image queries. All
the actions of the users were logged in a file. The analysis only
includes multiple image queries of the system with positive and/or
negative input images, because only multiple image q ueries contain
enough information for the method described. Features frequently
present in images marked together positively in the same que ry step
get a higher weighting, whereas features present in one image marked
positively and an other image marked negatively in the same step
get a lower weighting. The \emph{Viper} system offers a very large
number of simple features. This allows the creation of flexible feature
weightings with high values for importan t and low values for less
important features. These weightings for features can of course differ
between collections and as well between users. The results are evaluated
with an experiment using the relevance judgments of re al users on
a database containing 2500 images. The results of the system with
learned weights are compared to the system withou t the learned feature

performance of a system have been created and used by researchers.
This article discusses the advantages and shortcomings of the performance
measures currently used. Problems such as defining a common image

between CBIR and information retrieval (IR) is made clear, since
IR researchers have decades of experience with the evaluation problem.
Many of their solutions can be used for CBIR, despite the differences

to retrieval systems, such as SQL for relational databases. The Multimedia
Retrieval Mark-up Language (MRML) solves this problem by standardizing
access to CBIR systems (CBIRSs). Other difficult problems are also
shortly addressed, such as obtaining relevance judgments and choosing
a database for performance comparison. In this article we present
a fully automated benchmark for CBIRSs based on MRML, which can be
adapted to any image database and almost any kind of relevance judgment.
The test evaluates theperformance of positive and negative relevance
feedback, which can be generated automatically from the relevance
judgments. To illustrate our purpose, a freely available, non-copyright

a query as good features get negative weightings. This paper compares
a variety of strategies for positive and negative feedback. The performance
evaluation of feedback algorithms is a hard problem. To solve this,
we obtain judgments from several users and employ an automated feedback
scheme. We can then evaluate different techniques using the same
judgments. Using automated feedback, the ability of a system to adapt
to the user's needs can be measured very effectively. Our study highlights
the utility of negative feedback, especially over several feedback

abstract = {The recent literature has shown that the principal difficulty in multimedia
retrieval is the bridging of the "semantic gap" between the user's
wishes and his ability to fomulate queries. This insight has spawned
two main directions of research: Query By Example (QBE) with relevance
feedback (i.e. learning to improve the result of a previsously formulated
query) and the research in query formulation techniques, like browsing
or query by sketch. Browsing techniques try to help the user in finding
his target image, or an image which is sufficiently close to the
desired result that it can be used in a subsequent QBE query. From
the feature space viewpoint, each browsing system tries to permit
the user to move consciously in feature space and eventually reach
the target image. How to provide this functionality to the user is
presently an open question. In fact even obtaining objective performance
evaluation and comparison of these browsing paradigms is difficult.
We distinguish here between deterministic browsers, which try to
optimise the possibility for the user to learn how the system behaves,
and stochastic browsers based on more sophisticated Monte-Carlo algorithms
thus sacrificing reproducibility to a better performance. Presently,
these two browsing paradigms are practically incomparable, except
by large scale user studies. This makes it infeasible for research
groups to evaluate incremental improvement of browsing schemes. Moreover,
automated benchmarks in the current literature simulate a user by
a model derived directly from the distance measures used within the
tested systems. Such a circular reference cannot provide a serious
alternative to real user tests. In this paper, we present an automatic
benchmark which uses user-annotated collections for simulating the
semantic gap, thus providing a means for automatic evaluation and
comparison of the different browsing paradigms. We use a very precise
annotation of few words together with a thesaurus to provide sufficiently
smooth behaviour of the annotation-based user model. We discuss the
design and evaluation of this annotation as well as the implementation
of the benchmark in an MRML-compliant script with pluggable modules
which allow testing of new interaction schemes (see http://www.mrml.net).},

abstract = {While in the area of relational databases interoperability is ensured
by common communication protocols (e.g. ODBC/JDBC using SQL), Content
Based Image Retrieval Systems (CBIRS) and other multimedia retrieval
systems are lacking both a common query language and a common communication
protocol. Besides its obvious short term convenience, interoperability
of systems is crucial for the exchange and analysis of user data.
In this paper, we present and describe an extensible XML-based query
markup language, called MRML (Multimedia Retrieval Markup Language).
MRML is primarily designed so as to ensure interoperability between
different content based multimedia retrieval systems. Further, MRML
allows researchers to preserve their freedom in extending their system
as needed. MRML encapsulates multimedia queries in a way that enables
multimedia (MM) query languages, MM content descriptions, MM query
engines, and MM user interfaces to grow independently from each other,
reaching a maximum of interoperability while ensuring a maximum of
freedom for the developer. For benefiting from this, only a few simple
design principles have to be respected when extending MRML for one's
private needs. The design of extensions within the MRML framework
will be described in detail in the paper. MRML has been implemented
and tested for the CBIRS Viper, using the user interface SnakeCharmer.

title = {Robust Digital Image Watermarking},

address = {Geneva, Switzerland},
abstract = {Invisible Digital watermarks have been proposed as a method for discouraging
illicit copying and distribution of copyright material. While a myriad
of algorithms have appeared in recent years, a number of problems
remain. In this thesis we develop methods for robustly embedding
and extracting 60 to 100 bits of information from an image. These
bits can be used to link a buyer and a seller to a given image and
consequently be used for copyright protection. When embedding the
watermark, a fundamental tradeoff must be made between robustness,
visibility and capacity. Robustness refers to the fact that the watermark
must survive against attacks from potential pirates. Visibility refers
to the requirement that the watermark be imperceptible to the eye.
Finally, capacity refers to the amount of information that the watermark
must carry. We present 2 fundamentally different approaches. The
first approach is based on the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT),
the magnitude of which is used for embedding bits. Affine transformations
on an image lead to corresponding affine transformations in the DFT
which suggests that the DFT can be used to recover watermarks which
have undergone such transformations. We propose the use of a template
consisting of peaks in the DFT domain. If the image is transformed,
the peaks are detected and the transformation is detected by solving
a point matching problem. In order to ensure that the watermark is
invisible, a noise visibility function is calculated in the spatial
domain and after the embedding is performed in the DFT domain, the
pixels are modulated in the spatial domain to ensure invisibility.
Our results indicate that the proposed method successfully recovers
watermarks from transformed images, but is relatively weak against
compression and cropping. In recent years it has been recognized
that embedding information in a transform domain leads to more robust
watermarks. A major difficulty in watermarking in a transform domain
lies in the fact that constraints on the allowable distortion at
any pixel are usually specified in the spatial domain. Consequently
the second approach consists of a general framework for optimizing
the watermark strength in the trans- form domain when the visibility
constraints are specified in the spatial domain. The main idea is
to structure the watermark embedding as a linear programming prob-
lem in which we wish to maximize the strength of the watermark subject
to a set of linear constraints on the pixel distortions as determined
by a masking function. We consider the special cases of embedding
in the DCT domain and wavelet domainusing the Haar wavelet and Daubechies
4-tap filter in conjunction with a masking function based on a non-stationary
Gaussian model, but the algorithm is applicable to any combination
of transform and masking functions. Unfortunately the algorithm is
not applicable to the DFT since the computational complexity of global
transfor- mations is overwhelming. Our results indicate that the
proposed approach performs well against lossy compression such as
JPEG and other types of filtering which do not change the geometry
of the image, however at this time the watermark cannot be recovered
from images which have undergone an affine transformation. As a second
aspect of the thesis we also develop robust evaluation methods. This
consists of two parts. Firstly we develop a new approach for evaluating
watermark visibility based on the Watson metric. The results indicate
that the perceptual quality as measured by the Watson metric is consistently
more accurate than that provided by the typically used PSNR criterion.
We also define a new benchmark consisting of attacks which take into
account prior information about the watermark and the image. These
attacks are much more powerful than the ones available in other bench-
marking tools which do not use prior information, but rather perform
general image processing operations. Our results relative tothe proposed
benchmark indicate that the optimized non-linear embedding approach
we developed performs markedly better than existing commercial software
which suggests that future research should consist of pursuing these
lines rather than the linear additive watermarking paradigm dealt
with in the bulk of the literature.},

The problem with these approaches is that spatial domain truncation

abstract = {Digital watermarks have been proposed as a method for discouraging
illicit copying and distribution of copyright material. One approach
to Transform Domain image watermarking is to divide the image into
separate blocks and compute the transform of each block. The watermark
is inserted in the transform domain and the inverse transform is
then computed. Such an approach is particularly effective against
JPEG compression where 8 x 8 blocks are used in conjunction with
the DCT. Using small blocks allows the watermark to be embedded adaptively
as a function of the luminance and texture. However for small block
sizes blocking artifacts are observed when the strength of the watermark
is increased. In order to circumvent this problem, we propose a new
approach based on Lapped Orthogonal Transforms (LOT) in which the
watermark is inserted adaptively into the LOT domain. Robustness
of the watermark to operations such as lossy compression is achieved
by using a spread spectrum signal which is added in the LOT domain.
The keys used to embed the spread spectrum signal are generated,
certified, authenticated and securely distributed using a public
key infrastructure containing an electronic copyright office and
a certification authority. In addition to the above we propose using
an invisible template to reverse the effects of rotation, rescaling
and cropping on a watermarked image. This separate invisible template
is based on the properties of the Fourier Transform. Finally, we
objectively evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in
order to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed technique with
respect to a number of common image processing operations including
JPEG compression, rotation, scaling and cropping.},

abstract = {Invisible Digital watermarks have been proposed as a method for discouraging
illicit copying and distribution of copyright material. In recent
years it has been recognized that embedding information in a transform
domain leads to more robust watermarks. In particular, several approaches
based on the Wavelet Transform have been proposed to address the
problem of image watermarking. The advantage of the wavelet transform
relative to the DFT or DCT is that it allows for localized watermarking
of the image. A major di culty, however, in watermarking in any transform
domain lies in the fact that constraints on the allowable distortion
at any pixel are speci ed in the spatial domain. In order to insert
an invisible watermark, the current trend has been to model the Human
Visual System (HVS) and specify a masking function which yields the
allowable distortion for any pixel. This complex function combines
contrast, luminance, color, texture and edges. The watermark is then
inserted in the transform domain and the inverse transform computed.
The watermark is nally adjusted to satisfy the constraints on the
pixel distortions. However this method is highly suboptimal since
it leads to irreversible losses at the embedding stage because the
watermark is being adjusted in the spatial domain with no care for
the consequences in the transform domain. The central contribution
of the paper is the proposal of an approach which takes into account
the spatial domain constraints in an optimal fashion. The main idea
is to structure the watermark embedding as a linear programming problem
in which we wish to maximize the strength of the watermark subject

abstract = {The World Wide Web (WWW) has recently become the main source of digital
information accessible everywhere and by everyone. Nevertheless,
the inherent visual nature of Internet browsers makes the Web inaccessible
to the visually impaired. To solve this problem, non-visual browsers
have been developed. One of the new problems, however, with those
non-visual browsers is that they often transform the visual content
of HTML documents into textual information only, that can be restituted
by a text-to-speech converter or a Braille device. The loss of spatial
layout, and textual attributes such as boldface, italic, underline,
color or even size should be avoided since they often bear visually
important information. Moreover, typical non-visual Internet browsers
do not allow visually impaired and sighted individuals to easily
work together using the same environment. These new problems have
to be solved with new alternative non-visual display techniques.

the presence of viruses by means of an Elisa test. The Potato Operation
aims at automatizing the potato manipulation and pulp sampling procedure,
starting from bunches of harvested potatoes and ending with the deposit
of potato pulp into Elisa containers. Automatizing these manipulations
addresses several issues, linking robotic and computer vision. The
paper reports on the current status of this project. It first summarizes
the robotic aspects, which consist of locating a potato in a bunch,
grasping it, positioning it into the camera field of view, pumping
the pulp sample and depositing it into a container. The computer
vision aspects are then detailed. They concern locating particular
potatoes in a bunch and finding the position of the best germ where
the drill has to sample the pulp. The emphasis is put on the germ
location problem. A general overview of the approach is given, which
combines the processing of both frontal and silhouette views of the
potato, together with movements of the robot arm (active vision).
Frontal and silhouette analysis algorithms are then presented. Results
are shown that confirm the feasibility of the approach.},

of this browser are: (1) active user interaction, both for the macro-analysis
and micro-analysis of screen objects of interest; (2) use of a touch-sensitive
screen to facilitate user interaction; (3) generation of a virtual
sound space into which the screen information is mapped; (4) transcription
into sounds not only of text, but also of images. Several prototypes
have been implemented, and are being evaluated by blind users.}

Viper, qui est le nom de bapt\^eme donn\'e au syst\`eme de recherche
d'images \`a r\'ealiser. Dans ce chapitre, la description des caract\'eristiques
de couleur et de texture utilis\'ees dans le syst\`eme et la mani\`ere
de calculer la similarit\'e entre une image d'une requ\^ete et les
images de la base donn\'ees sont abord\'ees. \item La sp\'ecification
d'un protocole de communication pour l'\'echange de messages entre
la base de donn\'ees et une interface utilisateur graphique. Diff\'erents
types de messages sont d\'ecrits et la grammaire du protocole de
communication est sp\'ecifi\'ee. \item L'introduction de la grammaire
avec les outils de compilation JavaCup et JLex pour le langage Java
et avec les outils Yacc et Lex pour le langage C++. La mani\`ere
de g\'en\'erer les analyseurs syntaxiques et lexicaux correspondants
\`a la grammaire avec ces outils est d\'ecrite. Du fait que JavaCup
et Jlex sont moins connus que Lex et Yacc, une explication plus d\'etaill\'ee
de ces outils est donn\'ee dans ce chapitre. \item La mani\`ere de
construire l'interface graphique de l'utilisateur et une description
de ses diff\'erentes fonctionnalit\'es. On explique dans ce chapitre
la mani\`ere d'implanter l'interface afin de communiquer avec un
serveur li\'e \`a la base de donn\'ees et d'analyser les messages
du protocole de communication. \item L'archivage des images dans
une structure de donn\'ees appel\'ee "Inverted File" ou fichier invers\'e.
Cette structure est d\'ecrite dans ce chapitre ainsi que la mani\`ere
d'implanter le serveur de la base de donn\'ees afin de communiquer
avec l'interface et d'analyser les messages du protocole de communication.
\end{itemize} Apr\`es ces chapitres, des r\'esultats de requ\^etes
de recherche d'images similaires sont pr\'esent\'es afin de les comparer
aux r\'esultats d'autres syst\`emes.},

abstract = {The electronic publishing, storage and distribution of documents is
growing increasingly important and will have profound implications
for our economy, culture and society. The multimedia digitalisation
of libraries and the distribution of the contents of museums is revolutionising
these organisations and will make these resources available to a
much wider audience than was previously possible. The main goal of
our MEDIA project (Mobile Electronic Documents with Interacting Agents)
is the development of a system for the archival, retrieval, and distribution
of electronic documents. For this purpose, a mobile agent platform
is used to securely distribute these documents. Information is accessed
by a search mechanism that allows the retrieval of text and images
according to their content. An important feature of the system is
a digital watermarking tool which embeds hidden signatures in images.
This provides copyright protection and helps to ensure that the image
will not be copied and sold and without proper authorisation. The
management of the database of documents and images is accomplished
by an extensible object relational database management system. In
addition, documents and data can be accessed through the World Wide
Web network.}

copyright protection of digital images. We describe a system for
generating digital watermarks and for trading watermarked images.
The system is based on a new watermarking technique, which is \emph{robust}
against image transformation techniques such as \emph{compression,
rotation, translation, scaling} and \emph{cropping}. It uses modulation
of the magnitude components in Fourier space to embed a watermark
and an accompanying template and, during watermark extraction, reads
a template in the log polar transform of the frequency domain. The
template is used for analyzing scaling and rotation suffered by the
watermarked stego-image. The detection of the watermarks is also
possible without any need for the original cover-image. In addition,
the system applies asymmetric cryptographic protocols for different
purposes, namely embedding/detecting the watermark and transferring
watermarked data. The public key technique is applied for the construction
of a one-way watermark embedding and the verification function to
identify and prove the uniqueness of the watermark. Legal dispute
resolution is supported for the multiple watermarking of a digital
image without revealing the confidential keying information.},

of computer vision. In this chapter, a new invariant feature of two-dimensional
contours is introduced: the Invariance Signature (IS). The IS is
a measure of the degree to which a contour is invariant under a variety
of transformations, derived from the theory of Lie transformation
groups. It is shown that a Model-Based Neural Network (MBNN) can
be constructed which computes the IS of a contour, and classifies
patterns on this basis. MBNNs, whilst retaining the structure and
advantages of traditional neural networks (TNNs), enable explicit
modeling of the target system. This can result in greatly improved
generalization, and representation in lower-dimensional state spaces.
MBNNs can be trained with much smaller training sets than are required
by TNNs. This means that MBNNs are much less computationally-expensive
to train than TNNs. Experiments demonstrate that such Invariance
Signature networks can be employed successfully for shift-, rotation-
and scale-invariant optical character recognition.},

of a variety of factor analysis techniques in an image database environment.
Factor analysis techniques, such as Principal Components Analysis,
have been proposed as means of reducing the dimensionality of the
data stored in image retrieval systems. These techniques compute
a transformation which is applied to vectors of image features to
produce vectors of lower dimensionality which still characterize
the original data well. Computing such transformations for very large
numbers of images is computationally expensive, especially if this
calculation must be repeated each time new images are added to the
database. It is to be hoped, therefore, that a transformation computed
using a subset of all possible images will perform well when applied
to images not used in its derivation. To evaluate this generalization
ability, we measure the agreement between partitionings of image
sets computed using such transformations with those produced by human
subjects.},

abstract = {The growth in size and accessibility of multimedia databases have
changed our approach to information retrieval. Classical text-based
systems show their limitations in the context of multimedia retrieval.
In this chapter, we address the problem of conceiving and evaluating
a content-based image retrieval system. First, we investigate the
use of the query-by-example (QBE) paradigm as a base paradigm for
the development of a content-based image retrieval system (CBIRS).
We show that it should be considered as a complement to the classical
textual-based paradigms. We then evaluate the capabilities of the
most up-to-date computer vision techniques in contributing to the
realisation of such a system. Further, beyond the necessity of accurate
image understanding techniques, we show that the amount of data involved
by the process of describing image content should also be considered
as an important issue. This aspect of our study is largely based
on the experience acquired by the text retrieval (TR) community,
which we adapt to the context of CBIR. Similarly, the text retrieval
community has also developed a significant experience in evaluating
retrieval systems, where judgements include subjectivity and context
dependency. Extending this experience, we study a coherent framework
for performing the evaluation of a CBIRS. As a practical example,
we use our Viper CBIR system, using a novel communication protocol
called MRML to pinpoint the importance of the sharing of resource
in facilitating the evaluation and therefore the development of CBIRS.},

abstract = {In this paper our goal is to employ human judgments of image similarity
to improve the organization of an image database for content-based
retrieval. We first derive a statistic, $\kappa_B$ for measuring
the agreement between two partitionings of an image set into unlabeled
subsets. This measure can be used both to measure the degree of agreement
between pairs of human subjects, and also between human and machine
partitionings of an image set. This provides a rigorous means of
selecting between competing image database organization systems,
and assessing how close the performance of such systems is to that
which might be expected from a database organization done by hand.
We then use the results of experiments in which human subjects are
asked to partition a set of images into unlabeled subsets to define
a similarity measure for pairs of images based on the frequency with
which they were judged to be similar. We show that, when this measure
is used to partition an image set using a clustering technique, the
resultant clustering agrees better with those produced by human subjects
than any of the feature space-based techniques investigated. Finally,
we investigate the use of machine learning techniques to discover
a mapping from a numerical feature space to this perceptual similarity
space. Such a mapping would allow the ground truth knowledge abstracted
from the human judgments to be generalized to unseen images.},

abstract = {This work addresses several issues in the field of computer vision.
In particular, attention is focussed on the problem of the representation
of an object from its appearance in an image. Several advances are
proposed for the representation of planar shapes, which are thus
suitable for representing planar and faceted objects. The representation
developed is employed for content-based retrieval from an image database.
The proposed projectively invariant description for groups of planar
disjoint contours as a simultaneous polar reparametrization of multiple
curves. Its origin is an invariant point and, for each ray orientation,
the cross-ratio of the intersections with the closest curves gives
the radius. The sequence of cross-ratio values for all orientations
forms a signature. With respect to other methods, this representation
is less reliant on individual curve properties, both for the construction
of the reference frame and for the calculation of the signature.
At the same time, this representation is local and integrates information
from multiple curves, guaranteeing robustness to curve discontinuities
and partial occlusions. Chromatic information is introduced into
the representation and offers two advantages. First, the representation
provides a more complete description of the shape and thus becomes
more discriminative. Secondly, the chromatic description is illumination
invariant under a diagonal chromaticity model and one more acquisition
variable is therefore removed. The proposed representation was originally
developed for planar shapes, but an extension has been proposed and
validated for trihedral corners. [truncated]},
abstract2 = {A complete system architecture has been implemented, composed of the
following stages: feature extraction, reference frame construction,
signature evaluation and indexing. The feature extraction stage provides
a set of image contours approximated by splines. Joint invariant
properties of curves are used to define the center point of the reference
frame and the associated rays. Invariant signatures are computed
from a combination of local properties of multiple curves. These
signatures are used as a multidimensional index into a database of
signatures and a subset of plausible object models is thus obtained.
The invariant signature method has been used for object representation
in the context of content-based retrieval from image databases. In
particular, we focus on images which portray man-made objects with
planar facets or trihedral corners, which contain trademarks. The
database consist of 203 images of 41 such objects. Images were taken
from different viewpoints under various illumination conditions.
Experimental evaluation has shown that the method is stable to those
realistic variations and its performance in this framework is satisfactory.
In conclusion, we believe that this approach is an important extension
of shape representation methods to a much broader class of objects.},

forms. We advocate the combination of robust text hashing and text
data-hiding technologies as an efficient solution to this problem.
First, we consider the problem of text data-hiding in the scope of
the Gel'fand-Pinsker data-hiding framework. For illustration, two
modern text data-hiding methods, namely color index modulation (CIM)
and location index modulation (LIM), are explained. Second, we study
two approaches to robust text hashing that are well suited for the
considered problem. In particular, both approaches are compatible
with CIM and LIM. The first approach makes use of optical character
recognition (OCR) and a classical cryptographic message authentication
code (MAC). The second approach is new and can be used in some scenarios
where OCR does not produce consistent results. The experimental work
compares both approaches and shows their robustness against typical
intentional/unintentional document distortions including electronic
format conversion, printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing.},

problem of digital and printed text documents. We explain how this
problem can be seen as an instance of the well-known Gel'fand-Pinsker
problem. The main idea for this interpretation is to consider a text
character as a data structure consisting of multiple quantifiable
features such as shape, position, orientation, size, color, etc.
We also introduce color quantization, a new semi-fragile text data-hiding
method that is fully automatable, has high information embedding
rate, and can be applied to both digital and printed text documents.
The main idea of this method is to quantize the color or luminance
intensity of each character in such a manner that the human visual
system is not able to distinguish between the original and quantized
characters, but it can be easily performed by a specialized reader
machine. We also describe halftone quantization, a related method
that applies mainly to printed text documents. Since these methods
may not be completely robust to printing and scanning, an outer coding
layer is proposed to solve this issue. Finally, we describe a practical
implementation of the color quantization method and present experimental
results for comparison with other existing methods.},

from nonlinear or local geometrical distortions, such as the random

are modeled as a set of local affine transforms, the watermark being
repeatedly allocated into small blocks in order to ensure its locality.
The estimation of the affine transform parameters is formulated as
a robust penalized Maximum Likelihood (ML) problem, which is suitable
for the local level as well as for global distortions. Results with
the Stirmark benchmark confirm the high robustness of the proposed
method and show its state-of-the-art performance.},

abstract = {This paper presents a new stochastic approach which can be applied
with different watermark techniques. The approach is based on the
computation of a Noise Visibility Function (NVF) that characterizes
the local image properties, identifying textured and edge regions
where the mark should be more strongly embedded. We present precise
formulas for the NVF which enable a fast computation during the watermark
encoding and decoding process. In order to determine the optimal
NVF, we first consider the watermark as noise. Using a classical
MAP image denoising approach, we show how to estimate the ``noise''.
This leads to a general formulation for a texture masking function,
that allows us to determine the optimal watermark locations and strength
for the watermark embedding stage. We examine two such NVFs, based
on either a non-stationary Gaussian model of the image, or a stationary
Generalized Gaussian model. We show that the problem of the watermark
estimation is equivalent to image denoising and derive content adaptive
criteria. Results show that watermark visibility is noticeably decreased,
while at the same time enhancing the energy of the watermark.},

abstract = {Digital image watermarking has become a popular technique for authentication
and copyright protection. For verifying the security and robustness
of watermarking algorithms, specific attacks have to be applied to
test the proposed algorithms. In contrast to the known Stirmark attack,
which degrades the quality of the image while destroying the watermark,
this paper presents a new approach which is based on the estimation
of a watermark and the exploitation of the properties of Human Visual
System (HVS). The new attack satisfies two important requirements.
First, image quality after the attack as perceived by the HVS is
not worse than the quality of the stego image. Secondly, the attack
uses all available prior information about the watermark and cover
image statistics to perform the best watermark removal or damage.
The proposed attack is based on a stochastic formulation of the watermark
removal problem considering the embedded watermark as additive noise
with some probability distribution. The attack scheme consists of
two main stages: watermark estimation based a Maximum a Posteriori
(MAP) approach and watermark alteration through addition of the noise
to the filtered image taking into account the statistics of the embedded
watermark and exploiting HVS characteristics. Experiments on a number
of real world and computer generated images show the high efficiency
of the proposed attack against several known academic and commercial
methods: the watermark is completely destroyed in all tested images
without altering the image quality. The approach can be used against
watermark embedding schemes that operate either in coordinate domain,
or transform domains like Fourier, DCT or wavelet.},

However the stirmark tests are limited since in general they do not

a stochastic formulation of watermarking attacks using an estimationbased

or cover data estimation; b) modification of stego data aiming at
disrupting the watermark detection and of resolving copyrights, taking
into account the statistics of the embedded watermark and exploits
features of human visual system. In the second part of the paper
we propose a "second generation benchmark". We follow the model of
the Stirmark benchmark and propose the 6 following categories of
tests: denoising attacks and wavelet compression, watermark copy
attack, synchronization removal, denoising/compression with following
perceptual remodulation, denoising and random bending. Our results
indicate that even though some algorithms perform well against the
Stirmark benchmark, almost all algorithms perform poorly against

abstract = {Watermarking is a potential method for protection of ownership rights
on digital audio, image and video data. Benchmarks are used to evaluate
the performance of different watermarking algorithms. For image watermarking,
the Stirmark package is the most popular benchmark, and the best
current algorithms perform well against it. However, results obtained
by the Stirmark benchmark have to be handled carefully since Stirmark
does not properly model the watermarking process and consequently
is limited in its potential for impairing sophisticated image watermarking
schemes. In this context, the goal of this article is threefold.
First, we give an overview of the current attacking methods. Second,
we describe attacks exploiting knowledge about the statistics of
the original data and the embedded watermark. We propose a stochastic
formulation of estimation-based attacks. Such attacks consist of
two main stages: a) watermark estimation; b) exploitation of the
estimated watermark to trick watermark detection or create ownership
ambiguity. The full strength of estimation-based attacks can be achieved
by introducing additional noise, where the attacker tries to combine
the estimated watermark and the additive noise to impair watermark
communication as much as possible while fulfilling a quality constraint
on the attacked data. With a sophisticated quality constraint it
is also possible to exploit human perception, e.g., the human auditory
system in case of audio watermarks and the human visual system (HVS)
in case of image and video watermarks. Third, we discuss the current
status of image watermarking benchmarks. We briefly present Fabien
Petitcolas' Stirmark benchmarking tool [1]. Next, we consider the
benchmark proposed by the University of Geneva Vision Group that
contains more deliberate attacks. Finally, we summerize the current
work of the European Certimark project, whose goal is to accelerate
efforts from a number of research groups and companies in order to
produce an improved ensemble of benchmarking tools.},
