Ingemar J. Cox is Professor and Director of Research in the Department of Computer Science at University College London, [1] where he is Head of the Future Media Group, and he is Professor in the Machine Learning department at the University of Copenhagen. [2] [3] Between 2003 and 2008, he was Director of UCL's Adastral Park Campus. [4]

He has been a recipient of a Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship (2002–2007). He received his B.Sc. from University College London and Ph.D. from Oxford University. He was a member of the technical staff from 1984 until 1989 at AT&T Bell Labs at Murray Hill, where his research interests were focused on mobile robots.

In 1989 he joined NEC Research Institute in Princeton, New Jersey, as a senior research scientist in the computer science division. At NEC, his research shifted to problems in computer vision and he was responsible for creating the computer vision group at NECI. He has worked on problems to do with stereo and motion correspondence and multimedia issues of image database retrieval and watermarking. In 1999, he was awarded the IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award (Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Area) for a paper he co-authored on watermarking. From 1997 to 1999, he served as Chief Technical Officer of Signafy, Inc., [5] a subsidiary of NEC responsible for the commercialization of watermarking. Between 1996 and 1999, he led the design of NEC's watermarking proposal for DVD video disks and later collaborated with IBM in developing the technology behind the joint Galaxy [6] proposal supported by Hitachi, IBM, NEC, Pioneer and Sony. In 1999, he returned to NEC Research Institute as a Research Fellow. [7]

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, [8] the IET, the British Computer Society, and the Association for Computing Machinery. [9] He is a member of the UK Computing Research Committee. He was founding co-editor in chief of the IEE Proc. on Information Security. He is co-author of a book entitled Digital Watermarking [10] and its second edition Digital Watermarking and Steganography, [11] and the co-editor of two books, Autonomous Robots Vehicles [12] and Partitioning Data Sets: With Applications to Psychology, Computer Vision and Target Tracking. [7] [13] In 2019, Cox received the Tony Kent Strix award. [14] As of October 2020, he has a Google h-index of 78 and an i10-index of 191, and has had 44,433 citations made of his work. [15] He has 49 patents [16] and 299 publications. [15]

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a US-based international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, reporting nearly 110,000 student and professional members as of 2022. Its headquarters are in New York City.

Steganography is the practice of representing information within another message or physical object, in such a manner that the presence of the concealed information would not be evident to an unsuspecting person's examination. In computing/electronic contexts, a computer file, message, image, or video is concealed within another file, message, image, or video. The word steganography comes from Greek steganographia, which combines the words steganós, meaning "covered or concealed", and -graphia meaning "writing".

A digital watermark is a kind of marker covertly embedded in a noise-tolerant signal such as audio, video or image data. It is typically used to identify ownership of the copyright of such a signal. Digital watermarking is the process of hiding digital information in a carrier signal; the hidden information should, but does not need to, contain a relation to the carrier signal. Digital watermarks may be used to verify the authenticity or integrity of the carrier signal or to show the identity of its owners. It is prominently used for tracing copyright infringements and for banknote authentication.

A copy detection pattern (CDP) or graphical code is a small random or pseudo-random digital image which is printed on documents, labels or products for counterfeit detection. Authentication is made by scanning the printed CDP using an image scanner or mobile phone camera. It is possible to store additional product-specific data into the CDP that will be decoded during the scanning process. A CDP can also be inserted into a 2D barcode to facilitate smartphone authentication and to connect with traceability data.
