Watermarking for HEVC/H.265 stream

Some video watermarking methods have been proposed that embed information into compressed video streams. When the compression scheme is an MPEG2-Video, its codes are almost pre-defined by using the coding tables, and therefore, information embedding in the compressed stream is possible by substituting some of the codes. On the other hand, HEVC/H.265 uses a kind of arithmetic coding (CABAC [5]) and it is not easy to substitute a code with another one in a stream. We thus propose a watermarking method for HEVC/H.265 video streams that embeds information while encoding the video.
