Publisher's Synopsis
"The main strength of this proposal is that it provides a solid theoretical foundation for the development and performance analysis of watermarking algorithms." Dr Madjid Rabani, Kodak Research, Rochester, USA "Existing books are rather weak in their signal processing and communications perspective...I like the approach proposed by this book." Professor Inald Lagendijk, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands "The editors are well known and leading authorities in the subject and the contributor list is also among the best in the world." Professor Nasir Memon, Polytechnic University, NY, USA "This seems to be a well-planned proposal with a methodical approach, covering basic concepts and drawing from the latest results. " Professor Jessica Fridrich, Binghamton University, NY, USA Features of book: Edited by recognised experts with contributions from respected researchers and pioneers in the field. - Covers the whole spectrum of watermarking techniques, from robust to fragile and semi-fragile. - Focuses on watermarking in still images in order to provide a framework for the application of the described techniques to other media, such as video and audio.;Provides a valuable comparison of the available watermarking algorithms and techniques for their application. - Outlines the likely growth area and future trends for the application of current watermarking techniques.
