[4Pin1-51] A Preliminary Study on Coevolutionary Simultaneous Design of Digital Watermark for Two-dimensional Codes and Coded Aperture
Keywords:cooperative coevolution, digital watermarking, coded aperture
In recent years, authentication using two-dimensional codes has become widespread. However, it is easy to duplicate two-dimensional code, and inappropriate duplication of 2D codes is apprehended. Therefore, a method of detecting duplication by embedding a digital watermark in a two-dimensional code has been proposed. However,when the watermark is embedded in high-frequency components of a cover image, the watermark components may be lost due to photographing. A coded aperture is a technique that maintains frequency components included in the captured image. In this research, we propose a simultaneous design method of a digital watermark and a coded aperture, which allows extracting watermark with wide photographing depth range and rotation. Experimental results show that the proposed aperture could extract watermarks from blurred images regardless of with or without deconvolution.
