Sb-rawvec - A Semi-blind Watermarking Method For Vector Maps

RAWVec [1] is a private watermarking method for vector maps that uses a raster image as watermark. Visually recognizable watermarks can add extra information like integrity and authentication, while blind watermarks do not need the original data to be published for the detection. This work presents a semi-blind version of RAWVec, i.e. a method that uses the original vector map during the detection without revealing it, but maintains the watermark as a raster image. ©2009 IEEE.Marques, D.A., de Magalhães, K.M., Dahab, R., Rawvec - a method for watermarking vector maps (2007) SBSeg 2007: Simpósio Brasileiro em Segurança da Informa̧cão e de Sistemas ComputacionaisOhbuchi, R., Ueda, H., Endoh, S., Robust watermarking of vector digital maps (2002) Proc.
