Tracing Authors' rights by Labeling Image Services and Monitoring Access Network
Introduction
TALISMAN will provide European Community service providers with a standard copyright mechanism to protect their digital products against piracy and illegal copying. The project focuses on video services and will demonstrate the relevance of the developed mechanisms on media broadband systems like satellite and ATM networks.
TALISMAN develops a hierarchy of solutions starting from header descriptions associated with the bit stream - called labelling - up to embedded, holographically inlayed systems, called watermarking. The results of the project will offer a panel of solutions protecting
- broadcasters from illicit video dissemination by means of monitoring labels and watermarks,
- authors from piracy such as unauthorised copying, alteration and copy-degradation of information.I
A typical application scenario of the TALISMAN solution can be found in broadcasting environments, where the dissemination of digital video streams can be tracked.
Status
TALISMAN started in September 1995, and will be finalised by the end of August 1998. The project consortium consists of 11 partners and is coordinated by Thomson-CSF (France). FhG-IGD is involved in most technical workpackages and is responsible for the digital watermarking component.
A hardware based solution for real-time watermarking and monitoring in professional studio environments has been developed on standard Windows NT 4.0 PC platforms. The system is ready to use and will be tested thoroughly until the end of the project duration, including field trials during the football world championship '98 in France
