Watermarking software

Watermark benchmarking tools

Stirmark:-A C/C++ software package.This contains implementations of different attacks on Image watermarking systems.Seperate version exists for testing Audio Watermarking Algorithms.Relate paper

Audio Stirmark:-  Audio version of stirmark.Can be downloaded from here(windows version) and here(*nixversion).Requires library libsndfile.Debianpackage of this library is available here(I386version)

CheckMark:-Unlike Stirmark,which are C/C++ implementations,this benchmarkingtool(on image watermarking algorithms) runs on MATLAB under both Unix and Windows.While Stirmark is dominated by geomeric attacks,this tool has all the specialized and sophisticated attacks such a Template Removal,Projective transformations etc.,It can be downloaded from here.Related publication here.

Optimark:- Another benchmarking tool.Operates on Image watermarking algorithms.But seems to have an abandoned look.The attacks are preliminary.Can be downloaded from here.Manual is available here. Related publication here.
