Abstract
We propose a robust watermarking scheme and several extensions for digital right management of data cubes. The ownership information is hidden into a data cube by modifying a set of selected cell values. Its owner can use his private key to control all the watermarking parameters freely. Neither original data cube nor the watermark is required in watermark detection. Detailed analysis and extensive experiments are conducted for the proposed schemes in terms of watermark detectability, robustness and efficiency. Our results show that the scheme performs well in actual applications.
