It is urgently required to protect copyrights of digital contents sinc
e the digital contents can be easily copied without degradation of qua
lity. In this paper, we propose a new watermarking method which spread
s an ID pattern with a random sequence and embeds it throughout the sp
atial domain of a color image. The random sequence is a key for extrac
ting the ID pattern. As an ID pattern is spread throughout an image, w
e can extract the ID pattern from a part of the image, that is clipped
image. We can also confirm authenticity by extracting the same ID pat
tern from several parts of an image. The proposed method is robust to
disturbance by noise addition and image conversion such as brightness-
contrast conversion and JPEG compression.
