Abstract
While Digital Watermarking has received much attention in recentyears, it is still a relatively young technology. There are fewaccepted tools/metrics that can be used to evaluate the suitabilityof a watermarking technique for a specific application. This lack ofa universally adopted set of metrics/methods has motivated us todevelop a web-based digital watermark evaluation system called theWatermark Evaluation Testbed or WET. There have beenmore improvements over the first version of WET. Weimplemented batch mode with a queue that allows for user submittedjobs. In addition to StirMark 3.1 as an attack module, we addedattack modules based on StirMark 4.0. For a new image fidelitymeasure, we evaluate conditional entropy as an image fidelitymeasure for different watermarking algorithms and different attacks.Also, we show the results of curve fitting the Receiver OperatingCharacteristic (ROC) analysis data using the Parzen window densityestimation. The curve fits the data closely while having only twoparameters to estimate.
