Call for Papers
Digital multimedia contents (e.g., audio, images, and video) now play an important role in people's daily life, in part due to the increasing popularity of smart phones and the consistent capacity improvement of personal computers and network infrastructure. Accordingly, during the last two decades, the security issues related to multimedia contents have attracted much attention from both academic researchers and industrial practitioners. Digital watermarking and digital forensics are two important emerging techniques that attempt to solve these security issues, in particular the authentication and the copyright protection of different kinds of multimedia contents. In addition, digital watermarking has been successfully used, for instance, for multimedia content enrichment (e.g., embedding subtitle in a video clip) or even compression (e.g., embedding color information in luminance of an image), while digital forensics is a useful tool to know more about a multimedia file (e.g., the capture device and processing history of a digital image). We also observe that the relevant research has been advanced, in part through the interaction between watermarking/forensic algorithm designers and researchers who play the role of attackers.
The objective of this special issue is to highlight new developments and new insights in the field of multimedia watermarking and forensics. We solicit high-quality original technical papers as well as review papers. Submitted papers should not be previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
