Invisible Calibration Pattern Based on Human Visual Perception Characteristics
In the print-type steganographic system and watermark, a calibration pattern is arranged around contents where invisible data is embedded, as plural feature points corresponding to between an original image and the scanned image for normalization of the scanned image. However, it is clear that conventional methods interfere with page layout and artwork of contents. In addition, visible calibration patterns are not suitable for security service. In this paper, we propose an arrangement and detection method of an invisible calibration pattern based on characteristics of human visual perception. The calibration pattern is embedded to blue intensity in an original image by adding high frequency component.
