<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div>I will give a talk at the seminar tomorrow about the paper I published before. Hope you enjoy it. Here is the abstract.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Past research on watermarking digital road maps has been focused</div>
<div>on deterring common attacks such as adding noise to the whole</div><div>map so as to destroy the embedded watermarks. This paper fo-</div><div>cuses on two less common but increasingly used types of attack:</div><div>
crop attacks and merge attacks. Crop attack crops a fragment of</div><div>the original map and uses the fragment as a new map. When the</div><div>new map is much smaller than the original map, it is called massive</div><div>
cropping. Merge attack merges maps from various sources together</div><div>to form a new map. Conventional watermarking techniques fail</div><div>against these attacks either because they require global information</div><div>
from the whole map or they must add too many local watermarks</div><div>and affect the usability of the maps. This paper proposes a novel</div><div>quad-tree based blind watermarking scheme that partitions the orig-</div>
<div>inal map according to the quad-tree and plants just one single bit in</div><div>each sub-region of the map. The approach achieves almost 100%</div><div>detection accuracy for moderate crop and merge attacks, and over</div>
<div>80% accuracy with more than 95% of the original map cropped and</div><div>removed. Furthermore, the method introduces very little distortion</div><div>to the original map: to effectively protect a 23.5MB Minneapolis-</div>
<div>St.Paul map against crop and merge as well as other common at-</div><div>tacks, only 423 bits or 53 bytes of watermark is required. </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheer up<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">
