Young-Won Kim, Kyungae Moon, Il-Seok Oh · 2005
Text documents can be watermarked by patterning theinter-word spaces. This paper proposes a textwatermarking algorithm that exploits the novel conceptsof word classification and inter-word space statistics. Thewords are classified using some features. Severaladjacent words are grouped into a segment, and thesegments are also classified using the word classinformation. The same amount of information is insertedinto each of the segment classes. The information isencoded by modifying some statistics of inter-word spacesof the segments belonging to the same class. Severaladvantages over the conventional word-shift algorithmsare discussed.
