Abstract

There is a growing need for confidential institutions to actively check the documents in Internet for detecting some leaked confidential images. This paper presents an efficient method of active image betrayal checking based on a new type of watermarking in addition to the user-specific fingerprint. The implemented organization’s watermarking, as a ‘fingerprint’ for a group of staffs, with a codeword length far shorter than that of the user-specific fingerprint, is extracted from a suspected image at the first stage of betrayal checking, for the purpose of reducing the number of suspected images by a great deal. Then, only the remaining suspected images are subjected to the time-consuming user-specific fingerprint checking. Experimental tests confirmed the improved efficiency of this method.
