A blind scene-based watermarking for video copyright protection

Due to the replicable nature of video many illegal copies of the original video can be made. So it demands to deliver methods for preventing illegal copying. This paper identifies a new digital watermarking approach for copyright protection of video based on wavelet transformation. First, the motion part of color video is detected by scene change analysis, and then by applying 3D wavelet transformation over detected motion part, 10 sub-bands of wavelet coefficients are obtained. In order to insert the watermark, 3D coefficients of HL, LH and HH with their third level are selected. After all, by using a spread spectrum technique, the watermark is embedded into the selected wavelet coefficients. In extraction step, the original video is not needed, namely, blind detection. So, the resultant watermarking scheme can be used for public watermarking applications, where the original video is not available for watermark extraction. The experimental results show a good performance of the proposed method for transparency and robustness. Furthermore, the robustness of the proposed method against various kinds of attacks such as median filtering, Gaussian noise, frame dropping, frame averaging, frame swapping and lots of lossy compression including MPEG-4, MPEG-2, and H.264 shows the fidelity of our claim.     

Robust Video Watermarking Using a Hybrid DCT-DWT Approach

In order to solve the limitations of the digital video watermarking algorithm, this paper proposes a new robust video watermarking algorithm using combining discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) techniques. First of all, the video frames are randomly selected and then the DCT algorithm is applied to the selected video frames. After that, the first column of the selected video frames is scrambled using the Arnold algorithm. Furthermore, every column with 4 direct current (DC) coefficients is reshaped and transformed into four different sub-bands using the DWT technique. Next, the watermark is embedded into the approximation (LL) sub-band. The proposed algorithm is easy to carry out because it provides random frames with no special requirements for video frames. The experiment results indicate that this algorithm can resist against different kinds of watermarking attacks, such as the Gaussian filter attack and sharpen attack. In addition, it also illustrates that the proposed algorithm has a better result than some other watermarking algorithms.

DCT-based motion estimation

We propose novel discrete cosine transform (DCT) pseudophase techniques to estimate shift/delay between two one-dimensional(1-D) signals directly from their DCT coefficients by computing the pseudophase shift hidden in DCT and then employing the sinusoidal orthogonal principles, applicable to signal delay estimation remote sensing. Under the two-dimensional (2-D) translational motion model, we further extend the pseudophase techniques to the DCT-based motion estimation (DXT-ME) algorithm for 2-D signals/images. The DXT-ME algorithm has certain advantages over the commonly used full search block-matching approach (BKM-ME) for application to video coding despite certain limitations. In addition to its robustness in a noisy environment and low computational complexity, O(M(2)) for an MxM search range in comparison to the O(N(2).M(2)) complexity of BKM-ME for an NxN block, its ability to estimate motion completely in DCT domain makes possible the fully DCT-based motion-compensated video coder structure, which has only one major component in the feedback loop instead of three as in the conventional hybrid video coder design, and thus results in a higher system throughput. Furthermore, combination of the DCT and motion estimation units can provide space for further optimization of the overall coder. In addition, the DXT-ME algorithm has solely highly parallel local operations and this property makes feasible parallel implementation suitable for very large scale integration (VLSI) design. Simulation on a number of video sequences is presented with comparison to BKM-ME and other fast block search algorithms for video coding applications even though DXT-ME is completely different from any block search algorithms.     

An Integrated Systolic Array Design for Video Compression

This paper presents an integrated systolic array design for implementing full-search block matching, 2-D discrete wavelet transform, and full-search vector quantization on the same VLSI architecture. These functions are the prime components in video compression and take a great amount of computation. To meet the real-time application requirements, many systolic array architectures are proposed for individually performing one of those functions. However, these functions contain similar computational procedure. The matrix-vector product forms of the three functions are quite analogous. After extracting the common computation component, we design an integrated one-dimensional systolic array that can perform aforementioned three functions. The proposed architecture can efficiently perform three typical functions: (1) the full-search block matching with block of size 16 × 16 and the search are from –8 to 7; (2) the 2-D 2 level Harr transform with block of size 8 × 8; and (3) the full-search vector quantization with input vector of size 2 × 2. A utilization rate of 100% to 97% is achieved in the course of executing full-search block matching and full-search vector quantization. When it comes to perform 2-D discrete wavelet transform, the utilization rate is about 32%. The proposed integrated architecture has lowered hardware cost and reduced hardware structure. It befits the VLSI implementation for video/image compression applications.

A VLSI architecture for variable block size video motion estimation

With the advent of new video standards such as MPEG-4 part-10 and H.264/H.26L, demands for advanced video coding, particularly in the area of variable block size video motion estimation (VBSME), are increasing. In this paper, we propose a new one-dimensional (1-D) very large-scale integration architecture for full-search VBSME (FSVBSME). The VBS sum of absolute differences (SAD) computation is performed by re-using the results of smaller sub-block computations. These are distributed and combined by incorporating a shuffling mechanism within each processing element. Whereas a conventional 1-D architecture can process only one motion vector (MV), this new architecture can process up to 41 MV sub-blocks (within a macroblock) in the same number of clock cycles.

Quantisation-based video watermarking in the wavelet domain with spatial and temporal redundancy

In this article we introduce a new public digital watermarking technique for video copyright protection working in the discrete wavelet transform domain. The scheme uses binary images as watermarks. These are embedded in the detail wavelet coefficients of the middle wavelet sub-bands. The method is a combination of spread spectrum and quantisation-based watermarking. Every bit of the watermark is spread over a number of wavelet coefficients with the use of a secret key. The resilience of the watermarking algorithm was tested against a series of eight different attacks using different videos. To improve the resilience of the algorithm we use error correction codes and embed the watermark with spatial and temporal redundancy. The proposed method achieves a very good perceptual quality with mean peak signal-to-noise ratio values of the watermarked videos of more than 40 dB and high resistance to a large spectrum of attacks.     

Lossy-to-lossless compression of medical volumetric data using three-dimensional integer wavelet transforms

We study lossy-to-lossless compression of medical volumetric data using three-dimensional (3-D) integer wavelet transforms. To achieve good lossy coding performance, it is important to have transforms that are unitary. In addition to the lifting approach, we first introduce a general 3-D integer wavelet packet transform structure that allows implicit bit shifting of wavelet coefficients to approximate a 3-D unitary transformation. We then focus on context modeling for efficient arithmetic coding of wavelet coefficients. Two state-of-the-art 3-D wavelet video coding techniques, namely, 3-D set partitioning in hierarchical trees (Kim et al., 2000) and 3-D embedded subband coding with optimal truncation (Xu et al., 2001), are modified and applied to compression of medical volumetric data, achieving the best performance published so far in the literature-both in terms of lossy and lossless compression.

Invertible temporal subband/wavelet filter banks with half-pixel-accurate motion compensation

Three-dimensional (3-D) subband/wavelet coding with motion compensation has been demonstrated to be an efficient technique for video coding applications in some recent research works. When motion compensation is performed with half-pixel accuracy, images need to be interpolated in both temporal subband analysis and synthesis stages. The resulting subband filter banks developed in these former algorithms were not invertible due to image interpolation. In this paper, an invertible temporal analysis/synthesis system with half-pixel-accurate motion compensation is presented. We look at temporal decomposition of image sequences as a kind of down-conversion of the sampling lattices. The earlier motion-compensated (MC) interlaced/progressive scan conversion scheme is extended for temporal subband analysis/synthesis. The proposed subband/wavelet filter banks allow perfect reconstruction of the decomposed video signal while retaining high energy compaction of subband transforms. The invertible filter banks are then utilized in our 3-D subband video coder. This video coding system does not contain the temporal DPCM loop employed in the conventional hybrid coder and the earlier MC 3-D subband coders. The experimental results show a significant PSNR improvement by the proposed method. The generalization of our algorithm for MC temporal filtering at arbitrary subpixel accuracy is also discussed.

小波变换是一种有效的红外小目标检测方法。然而,在不同的子带、不同方向上,信号和噪声所呈现的特性不同,采用单一的阈值往往无法得到一个令人满意的检测结果。针对这一情况,提出了一种基于小波变换的自适应多模红外小目标检测算法。该算法可以根据不同尺度和方向上噪声的分布自动调整阈值,使得检测结果更加有效。其中分别采用了自适应Bayes Shrink阈值和广义交叉验证阈值处理每个子带的小波系数,接着再利用处理后的系数重构小波图像,最后通过一个简单的全局阈值分割得到红外小目标。实验结果表明,与对照方法相比,所提出的算法具有更好的检测性能和鲁棒性。     

利用边缘信息的多尺度分块压缩感知自适应采样方法

在小波域多尺度压缩感知框架下,被完整保留的低频系数存在着许多可利用的图像信息。本文在分析了不同尺度之间、以及同一尺度之内的系数块存在能量差异的基础上,提出了利用边缘信息的多尺度分块压缩感知自适应采样方法(EAS)。该方法首先利用低频系数提取出边缘信息,然后将边缘信息分块,加权计算每个块的边缘信息度,根据边缘信息度判断每个系数块的能量大小,将其转换成每个子块的自适应采样率,从而实现多尺度分块压缩感知的自适应采样。采用医学图像,含有复杂纹理的自然图像和含有严重噪声的SAR图像三类测试数据,验证了EAS方法的性能。数值实验结果表明,EAS方法对不同的压缩感知算法均有很大的提升,能够显著提高图像的重构质量和视觉效果。
