Intellectual Property Protection Systems and Digital Watermark

Adequate protection of digital copies of multimedia content – both audio and video – is a prerequisite to the distribution of this content over networks. Until recently digital audio and video content has been protected by its size: it is difficult to distribute and store without compression. Modern compression algorithms allow substantial bitrate reduction while maintaining highfidelity reprod...
