| Abstract | A specific application for image watermarking is constituted by annotation watermarking (sometimes also called caption or illustration watermarking). In this domain, supplementary information is embedded directly in the media, so that additional information is intrinsically linked to media content and does not get separated from the media by non-malicious processing steps such as image cropping or compression. Recently, nested object annotation watermarking (NOAWM) has been introduced as a specialization in annotation watermarking, whereby hierarchical object relations are embedded in photographic images. Earlier work has suggested two methods for achieving this, whereby two main deficits can be identified for those: firstly both methods perform approximation of the user-generated, free-hand, polygonal shape annotations to rectangular annotation areas, which leads to a significant loss in precision of the annotation region after detection. Secondly, both of the previous algorithms do not introduce any security mechanisms, i.e. the object annotations are publicly accessible with no access control mechanism. This paper presents an extension to one of the two previous approaches to suggest a first solution to these shortcomings. For this purpose, a novel method for embedding both the shape of the embedding region and the textual annotations in the phase coefficients of the Discrete-Fourier Transform (DFT) is presented. In order to achieve user dependent access control and improved synchronization for this scheme, the new method involves key-dependency. The key is used to provide an application level security feature and it is not designed yet in the sense of watermark key-space or sub-space security. The suggested methods have been prototypically implemented and first experimental results are presented in comparison to the original method with respect to transparency and robustness. We show that our new scheme may significantly reduce the transparency in terms of Peak-Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), whereas the overall watermark detection rate decreases, mainly due to local synchronization limitations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
