Re: [WM]: Discussion on Printed Paper watermarking

[Sviatoslav Voloshynovskiy <svolos@cui.unige.ch>]

Hi,

....... several more comments to Miroslav email:

Watermarmarking of printed documents is a very important issue where a lot of things depend on the requirements of a particular
application which defines:
- security requirements;
- printing/scanning resolution;
- halftoning/inverse halftoning technique (if you do not use continuous tone printing that might be rather expensive for most of
applications);
- embedding rate;
- special tricks that avoid a possibility of copying or enabling self-authentications and so on;
- key management protocol;
- complexity at the detector/decoder side;
- integration into printing process.

......... so complex.....

If there are not special requirements, one might think just to use simple bar (2D) codes for the same needs simplifying a lot of
practical problems and providing low-cost solution.

Slava Voloshynovskiy
