This paper proposes a copyright protection system using multimodal biometrics for content protection of digital images. Two biometric traits, one physiological (face) and one behavioral (offline handwritten signature) of the legitimate owner are used as watermarks. These watermarks are embedded at different levels of resolution to the high frequency wavelet coefficients through optimal control of the embedding factor. Experimental evaluation confirms the imperceptibility and robustness of the scheme against a family of typical image distortions functions like Jpeg Compression, filtering etc as well as geometric attacks such as scaling, rotation and combined attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
