However, the convenience also facilitates the access of malicious users to produce unauthenticated and pirate copies of the original work. There are two typical digital data protection techniques: cryptography and watermarking. Watermarking can be used both in transmission and for data usage. In addition, cryptography aims to modify every single bit of the original data. In Digital Watermarking the aim is to embed a code consisting of bits into a cover media, representing image, audio, video or graphics information. Digital watermarking is generally considered as a copyright protection technique. In this paper we propose free-view watermarking, this method mainly focuses on the watermark insertion and extraction stages for the static scenes, consisting of only a single object which forms the fundamental case in the development of IBR technology. As a future research direction, the extension of the solution for dynamic scenes with multiple objects could be examined, in which different rendering and interpolation techniques are being used.
