+		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

+		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.},

+		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.},

+		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.},

+		(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

+	  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

+		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,

+		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.}

+		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.},

+		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.},

+	  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).},

+		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

+	  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
+-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.},

+		contrast, luminance, color, texture and edges. The watermark is then

+		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.},

+		la mani\`ere d'implanter l'interface afin de communiquer avec un

+		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

+		groups. It is shown that a Model-Based Neural Network (MBNN) can

+		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-

+		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. It also allows a direct comparison
+		of database organizations, as opposed to the indirect measure available
+		via precision and recall measurements. 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

+		that a learning technique based on an extension of a Kohonen network
+		allows a similarity space to be learnt which results in partitionings

+		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 = {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.},

+		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

+		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.},

+	  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.},
