SIFT based video watermarking resistant to temporal scaling

A novel video watermarking scheme resistant to temporal scaling and frame dropping is proposed.New SIFT features are generated from the side plane of video by altering a patch of the side plane.Patch location is selected such a way that in creates less visual degradation.Newly generated features are used as watermark. 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.
