Abstract
A digital image can be watermarked by a computer-implemented method. An image analysis process can be performed on the digital image to identify an area of the digital image containing at least one predetermined object. Watermark information representative of content of the identified area can be generated, and a digital watermark containing the generated watermark information can be subsequently watermarked/overlaid onto the digital image.
