Abstract

See full text

A watermarking method is provided. The method includes: the steps of creating an entire watermark for an image frame by using a secret key; dividing an image frame of the digital image file into divided frames by at least one row and at least one column; applying a predetermined watermark creating algorithm to pixel data of each divided frame to generate a unit watermark; and applying the unit watermarks with the digital image file. The step of creating the unit watermark uses a public key or applies a keyless algorithm. Another watermarking method includes the steps of dividing the image frame into a plurality of divided frames, each divided frame partially overlapping neighboring divided frames; applying a predetermined watermark creating algorithm to pixel data of each divided frame to generate a unit watermark; and applying the unit watermarks with the digital image file. With the watermarking method and the checking method, a forged or faked area of the image frame can be detected without increasing the amount of computation.
