I don't think it's "not applicable in real life" so much as "the people writing the paper were more concerned with getting the ideas of their research across than writing an implementation for you to use..." a good amount of the time. (Though that point is obviously contentious, your statement is a trivialization of the point..) To add to the OP's question, I don't think that watermarking is still considered a difficult research topic or anything, and I can't think of anything too technically challenging about it, you grab an image, put another image on top of it (setting appropriate alpha levels, etc..), then spit the new one out. However, this is obviously the naive way, the "right" way (on Android) will be harder to come up with. However, if you want an open source java library which does this (it does basically, what I just said..): http://code.google.com/p/watermarker/ seems to be one.. http://www.codebeach.com/2008/02/watermarking-images-in-java-servlet.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5459701/how-can-i-watermark-an-image-in-java Not that this can't become a hard problem, but sticking to the easy stuff this just isn't that hard to do. However, I don't know anything about accessing the video stream in Android, it makes sense that you can do so..
