摘要： The present invention provides steganographic and digital watermarking methods and apparatus. In a first implementation, we provide methods and apparatus for steganographically conveying data in a facial image by subtly altering facial features relative to statistical norms. In a second implementation, we convey data through different patterns of a diffraction grating. In a third implementation, we convey a digital watermark orientation component by projecting the orientation component onto an object to be captured. In the case of blue-screen technology, we incorporate an orientation component into a blue-screen itself. This provides great convenience for digital animators when overlay graphics and animation. In a forth implementation, we provide an identification document including an electronic memory chip. The chip includes an image of a bearer of the identification document. The image is digitally watermarked to include information (e.g., a chip serial number or document number) that is carried by the identification document. Thus, the electronic memory chip is tied to the document.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for generating, storing and managing stored power from renewable resources. The apparatus includes a portable power generator that generates, distributes, and leverages power. The apparatus leverages power by converting alternating current to direct current and distributing power systematically. In this manner, stored power is utilized more efficiently, and the advantages of a steady direct current are realized. Only the minimal power required is generated, thereby protecting sensitive electrical devices from power fluctuations. The apparatus also detects and alerts to fluctuations in voltage and current. The apparatus can link with other power generators to form a multiplier effect for the wattage. The apparatus recharges from a renewable energy power source to eliminate the need for fossil fuels and reduce pollution and noise.

摘要： In one embodiment, a first set of digital data (e.g., an image) is tested for the presence of a certain feature (e.g., a certain face), yielding one of two outcomes (e.g., not-present, or present). If the testing yields the first outcome, no additional testing is performed. If, however, the testing yields the second outcome, further testing is performed to further check this outcome. Such further testing is performed on a second set of digital data that is based on, but different from, the first set of data. Only if the original testing and the further testing both yield the same second outcome is it treated as a valid result. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

摘要： Novel methods and systems for quantization based data embedding and reading in host signals, such as image, audio and video signals. To embed auxiliary data in a host signal, an embedder maps the host signal from a first domain into a mapped signal in a second domain. The embedder performs quantization based embedding of auxiliary data into the host signal using quantizers. The quantizers are adapted such that the relationship between corresponding quantizers in the first and second domains satisfies a predetermined constraint. The mapping improves the robustness of the data embedding method by increasing the chances that the embedded data can be recovered by an auxiliary data reader after modifications. A related embedding method projects the mapped signal unto a vector, and specifically, a pseudorandom vector. It performs quantization based embedding on the projected signal. The use of this projection provides added robustness of the embedded data to noise and other forms of distortion.

摘要： Machine readable signals embedded in other media signals include a circular structure in a transform domain to facilitate detection. The machine readable signals are not apparent to human observers of rendered media containing the machine readable signals, such as images and documents. A detector captures the media signal, transforms it to the transform domain, and then uses the circular structure in the transform domain to facilitate detection despite rotation of the media signal.

摘要： The ability to remove a watermark from an encoded image by reversible watermarking opens the possibility of various novel applications. Several such applications are detailed. One permits different classes of consumers to gain access to different versions of an image. A pristine image is intentionally degraded in some fashion, and distributed to consumers. By reference to one or more watermarks in the degraded image, some or all of the degradation can be removed, or transformed to a less-objectionable state. Through such arrangements, image consumers with different needs can gain access to versions of the image having differing qualities.
摘要翻译：通过可逆水印从编码图像中去除水印的能力打开了各种新颖应用的可能性。几个这样的应用程序是详细的。允许不同类别的消费者访问不同版本的图像。原始图像有意地以某种方式退化，并分发给消费者。通过参考退化图像中的一个或多个水印，可以去除部分或全部退化，或者转化为较不令人讨厌的状态。通过这种安排，具有不同需求的图像消费者可以访问具有不同质量的图像的版本。
