A New Watermark-embedded Image Generation for Display-capture based Mobile Watermarking

Most of existing watermarking technologies are related with the research of robust watermarking for copyright protection or with the research of fragile watermarking for an authentication. Therefore, most of existing watermarking schemes use an original image for embedding a watermark and focus on imperceptibility of the watermark. The proposed mobile watermarking scheme is a new concept for embedding, which uses the generated image instead of a given original image. It generates a proper MMB (Mobile Merchandise Bond) image for the watermark to be inserted. As experimental result, we could generate the MMB image and extract MMB information from the image, the watermark-embedded image, captured by the PC camera. So we could confirm availability of the generation of the watermark-embedded image in the display-capture environments.
