Correlation-based watermarking by a digital holographic technique
Li-Chien Lin · Optical Engineering · 2005
We propose and demonstrate an optical watermarking scheme using a digital holographic technique. The holographic watermark is constructed by an off-axis diffuse-type hologram and embedded into a cover image with appropriate weighting. Detection of the hidden mark is optically implemented using a VanderLugt correlator with the watermarked matched filter. Detected correlation is spatially separable and avoids interference from the cover image.
