IntroductionIt is our pleasure to bring you the papers presented at the 2014 Media Watermarking, Security, and Forensics Conference. This year’s conference was a great success, as it maintained and strengthened its status as the premier conference in the field. It was held at the Hilton, in the popular tourist destination of downtown San Francisco. This convenient location let the attendees enjoy their San Francisco stay while participating in the outstanding technical exchange this forum is well known for. For three full days, researchers from all over the globe in the field of watermarking, steganography, and forensics presented state-of-the-art research results in a lecture style. Thirty-one top-quality, original research papers were presented in a well-attended single track. Many great papers were submitted, but unfortunately not all could be accommodated by the conference. Attendees from academic, industrial, and governmental establishments enjoyed the presentations of latest research results. After the presentations and during the coffee breaks, presenters enjoyed discussing their research approaches and results with colleagues. The valuable feedback and comments they received planted the seeds for more research to advance the state-of-the-art of watermarking, security, and forensics. Attendees also enjoyed the strong industrial flavor of this conference. This year, three distinguished keynote speakers from industry and academia addressed recent technological developments in their field of expertise:
All three speeches were informative, illuminating, and well-received by the audience. In addition to the keynote speeches, representatives from the industry gave three demos of their innovative products and solutions of related technologies:
All three demos showed the great potential of the technology being developed by the attendees of the conference. New this year, to acknowledge excellent contributions to the field, the program committee of the conference decided to offer a Best Paper award. The committee sought input from the session chairs of the conference, and in response they received the following nominations:
All nominated papers will be reviewed by the technical committee of the conference. The papers will be judged based on their originality, creativity, clarity, and potential impact on the field of watermarking, security, and forensics. The winner will be announced in the next year’s call for papers or in a special event during next year’s conference. Finally, the conference chairs express appreciation for all the hard work and for the enthusiastic participation of the researchers, scientists, practitioners, industry and government representatives, keynote speakers, and the organization committee of the conference. The chairs also congratulate all of you on the success of this conference. Without your dedicated effort, little could have been achieved. Together, we will have another great conference next year. Thank you. Adnan Alattar Nasir Memon Chad Heitzenrater |
