Introduction

In recent years, the tremendous advancement of digital technology has

increased the ease with which digital multimedia files (image, video, and audio)

are stored, transmitted, and reproduced. Consequently, content providers and

owners are faced with the problem of protecting against copyright violation

and other forms of abuse of their digital property. The nature of digital

multimedia content makes traditional copyright methods unsuitable for

establishing ownership. Therefore, digital watermarking was proposed, and

strongly advocated, as a solution to prevent illegal and malicious copying and

distribution of digital media. Many multimedia watermarking algorithms have

been proposed in the last decade, however as the amount of digital

multimedia production increases exponentially, the need for better and more

advanced techniques for watermarking digital objects increases as well.

Objective of the Book

In this book, we seek contributions in the area of digital watermarking that will

address the different aspects of advanced watermarking research; modeling

and theoretical analysis, advanced embedding and extraction techniques,

software and hardware implementations, and performance evaluations of

watermarking systems. The primary objective of the book is to introduce

readers to state-of-art research in multimedia watermarking to enable high

quality research in the different disciplines of watermarking.

Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and

researchers working in the various disciplines of digital multimedia copyright

protection, e.g. image and document watermarking, audio and video

watermarking, multimedia fingerprinting, information hiding, steganography,

secured eCommerce, copyright protection, authentication, and information

management. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to industries

and researchers interested in software and hardware implementation of realtime

multimedia watermarking.
