GIS vector data automatic watermark detection based on mobile agent technology

Digital watermarking is an effective technology for copyright protection, but the passive of traditional detection method limits the application of this technology for vector data in GIS. Mobile agent technology, which is a combination of artificial intelligence technology and network technology, has some obvious advantages that could solve this problem. This paper studies mobile agent technology, and then presents a mobile agent-based automatic digital watermark detection method for vector data, finally a prototype system is developed adopting the Aglet platform.
