Résumé

Cet article introduit la notion de tatouage en sécurité d’images et détaille la forme de tatouage la plus étudiée, à savoir: invisible et robuste pour la protection des droits d’auteur, plus connue sous le mot clé “watermarking”. Les critères à considérer sont précisés pour construire un tatoueur performant en termes de compromis ratio, visibilité et robustesse. Le besoin ou non de recourir à des informations originales pour extraire la marque est également discuté. Plusieurs algorithmes sont détaillés, et on introduit les notions de base fréquemment utilisées. Cet article précise, en outre, les limites actuelles du tatouage.

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of digital watermarking in the field of image security. We describe in detail the most popular form of watermarking, that is to say: invisible and robust for the copyright. We deal with the criteria required to build an efficient watermarking scheme in terms of ratio, visibility and robustness. The necessity or not of using original information to recover the watermark is also addressed. We then present some algorithms, and introduce basic key techniques frequently used. We conclude this article by indicating the current limits of watermarking.
