Discrete Multiwavelet–Based Video Watermarking Scheme Using SURF

This paper proposes a robust, imperceptible block‐based digital video watermarking algorithm that makes use of the Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) technique. The SURF technique is used to extract the most important features of a video. A discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) domain in conjunction with a discrete cosine transform is used for embedding a watermark into feature blocks. The watermark used is a binary image. The proposed algorithm is further improved for robustness by an error‐correction code to protect the watermark against bit errors. The same watermark is embedded temporally for every set of frames of an input video to improve the decoded watermark correlation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DMWT domain video watermarking using SURF features is robust against common image processing attacks, motion JPEG2000 compression, frame averaging, and frame swapping attacks. The quality of a watermarked video under the proposed algorithm is high, demonstrating the imperceptibility of an embedded watermark.

Efficient video watermarking based on singular value decomposition in the discrete wavelet transform domain

This paper presents an efficient, robust, and imperceptible video watermarking technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) performed in the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain. In the proposed DWT-based SVD video watermarking method, the video frames are transformed with the DWT using two resolution levels. The high frequency band HH and the middle frequency bands LH and HL are SVD transformed and the watermark is hidden in them. The proposed DWT-based SVD video watermarking method is characterized by two improvements: (1) a cascade of two powerful mathematical transforms; the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-based SVD using additive method, and (2) an error correction code is applied and embeds the watermark with spatial and temporal redundancy. The aim of these improvements is to increase robustness against attacks based on video characteristics and the robustness against image processing attacks, realize high security level, protect the watermark against bit errors and obtain good perceptual quality. The proposed DWT-based SVD video watermarking method has been tested in the presence of video and image processing attacks and experimental results proved that the proposed DWT-based SVD video watermarking method survives attacks based on video characteristics and image processing techniques.

SIFT based video watermarking resistant to temporal scaling

In this paper, a blind video watermarking scheme is proposed which can resist temporal scaling such as frame dropping and frame rate adaptation due to scalable compression by exploiting the scale invariance property of the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT). A video scene can also be viewed from side plane where height is the number of rows in a video frame, width is the number of frames in the scene and depth is the number of columns in the frame. In this work, intensity values of selected embedding locations changed such that strong SIFT feature can be generated. SIFT features are extracted from side plane of the video. These newly generated SIFT features are used for watermark signal and are stored in the database for the authentication. A comprehensive set of experiments has been done to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme over the existing literature against temporal attacks.

Improved QIM-based watermarking integrated to JPEG2000 coding scheme

In recent years it has been recognized that embedding information in wavelet transform domain leads to more robust blind watermarks. A major difficulty, however, in watermarking in transform domain lies in the fact that constraints on the allowable distortion at any pixel are specified in the spatial domain. In order to insert an invisible watermark, the current trend has been to model the Human Visual System and specify a masking function which yields the allowable distortion. However, this method is highly suboptimal since it leads to irreversible losses at the embedding stage because the watermark is being adjusted in the spatial domain with no care for the consequences in the transform domain. The central contribution of this work is the proposal of integrated wavelet-based non-linear scaling QIM (NLS–QIM) watermark design to reduce fidelity problem. We consider the watermarking process in conjunction with lossy JPEG2000 compression engine. Experimental results have shown that the proposed watermarking strategy exhibits high robustness to compression attacks with respect to the reconstruction quality. Moreover, it provides a significant capacity improvement compared to other hybrid watermarking coding methods in the literature.

A Video Watermarking DRM Metho d Based on H.264 Compressed Domain with Low Bit-Rate Increasement

It gets more and more important for video copyright protection, it is necessary to provide e?cient H.264 compression domain watermarking for video Digital rights management(DRM). A new watermarking method based on H.264 compressed domain is proposed for video DRM, in which the embedding and extracting procedure are performed using the syntactic elements of the com-pressed bit stream. In this way, complete decoding is un-necessary in both embedding and extracting processes. Based on the analysis of the time and space, some appro-priate sub-blocks are selected for embedding watermarks, increasing watermark robustness while reducing the dec-lination of the visual quality. In order to avoid bit-rate increasing and strengthen the security of the proposed video watermarking scheme, only a set of nonzero coe?-cients quantized in different parts of macroblocks is chosen for inserting watermark. The experiment results show the proposed scheme can achieve excellent robustness against some common attacks, the proposed scheme is secure and e?cient for video content DRM protection.     

Robust video watermarking based on affine invariant regions in the compressed domain

This paper proposes a novel robust video watermarking scheme based on local affine invariant features in the compressed domain. This scheme is resilient to geometric distortions and quite suitable for DCT-encoded compressed video data because it performs directly in the block DCTs domain. In order to synchronize the watermark, we use local invariant feature points obtained through the Harris-Affine detector which is invariant to affine distortions. To decode the frames from DCT domain to the spatial domain as fast as possible, a fast inter-transformation between block DCTs and sub-block DCTs is employed and down-sampling frames in the spatial domain are obtained by replacing each sub-blocks DCT of 2×2 pixels with half of the corresponding DC coefficient. The above-mentioned strategy can significantly save computational cost in comparison with the conventional method which accomplishes the same task via inverse DCT (IDCT). The watermark detection is performed in spatial domain along with the decoded video playing. So it is not sensitive to the video format conversion. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is transparent and robust to signal-processing attacks, geometric distortions including rotation, scaling, aspect ratio changes, linear geometric transforms, cropping and combinations of several attacks, frame dropping, and frame rate conversion.

Multiresolution scene-based video watermarking using perceptualmodels

We present a watermarking procedure to embed copyright protection into digital video. Our watermarking procedure is scene-based and video dependent. It directly exploits spatial masking, frequency masking, and temporal properties to embed an invisible and robust watermark. The watermark consists of static and dynamic temporal components that are generated from a temporal wavelet transform of the video scenes. The resulting wavelet coefficient frames are modified by a perceptually shaped pseudorandom sequence representing the author. The noise-like watermark is statistically undetectable to thwart unauthorized removal. Furthermore, the author representation resolves the deadlock problem. The multiresolution watermark may be detected on single frames without knowledge of the location of the frames in the video scene. We demonstrate the robustness of the watermarking procedure to several video degradations and distortions
