[WM]: Re: MPEG work on "Evaluation Methods for=20Persistent Association Technologies"

[hae kwang kim <hkkim@sejong.ac.kr>]

Dear experts on watermark technologies,

As the mail sent to you by Niels below, MPEG published the
MPEG-21 PAT technical report which contains information on guidelines
for evaluation of  persistent watermark technologies including
watermarking.

The current technical report contains much about audio media but few on
video media so that MPEG is considering to add video related information
to the technical report if there are enough supports  from watermark
experts and  related industries.

Please send your precious opinions on the two questions posed in the
mail below sent by Niels to me or Niels.

Best regards,

Hae-Kwang Kim
Co-chair of MPEG-21 PAT adhoc.
