Whether you need to quickly come up to speed on the state of the art in digital watermarking or want to find out the latest about such research areas as 3-D geometry watermarking, this timely reference gives you the hands-on knowledge you need for your work. This book covers the full range of media -- still images, audio data, video, 3-D geometry data, formatted text, music scores, and program code -- that you can protect with digital watermarking. Realistic application scenarios and parameters help you to decide which watermarking technology is right for a host of applications. In-depth analysis of threats, risks, and attack mechanisms lets you establish quality and robustness criteria to ensure optimal content protection. Copy and usage schemes, digital rights management, tamper resistance, and encryption are also among the content protection mechanisms and solutions that this book arms you with to prevent illegal pirating of copyrighted digital content.
