Watermarking music sheets, it is possible?
M. Campanai, Paolo Nesi, Marius Bogdan Spinu · 2004
Most of the commonly used applications of watermark are referred to color or gray levels pictorial images but some new fields starts to be considered. Some research was recently done for music sheet protection considering it as b/w image [C. Busch et al. (2000)][W. Funk et al., (2001)][M. Schmucker et al. (2001)] or considering it as result of printing from music editors [M. Monsignori et al., (2001)]. We present the theoretical difficulties to implement watermarking approaches for music sheets. It is not intended to demonstrate the technical impossibility of such techniques but only try to show how much effort is needed in order to develop good approaches in this field.
