Abstract

A watermark is embedded into video/image/multimedia data using spread spectrum methodology. The watermark is extracted from watermarked data without the use of an original or unwatermarked version of the data by using MPEG/JPEG coefficients. The image to be watermarked is divided into subimages. Each subimage is embedded with a watermark. When extracting the watermark, the result from each subimage is combined to determine the originally embedded watermark.
