Design of watermarking systems for IP protection

How to apply watermarking techniques for IP protection in practice is now the most crucial and urgent problem in the field of IP protection. In this paper, a whole set of design approaches of watermarking systems for IP protection is firstly proposed, including design aim, evaluation indexes, basic framework, and general principles of selecting and designing watermarking models and watermarking algorithms. At last, a practical developing instance is presented. The work of this paper provides necessary basis and references for application design of watermarking techniques for IP protection in the near future.
