A Wavelet-Based Digital Watermarking for Video

A novel video watermarking system operating in the three dimensional wavelet transform is here presented. Specifically the video sequence is partitioned into spatio temporal units and the single shots are projected onto the 3D wavelet domain. First a grayscale watermark image is decomposed into a series of bitplanes that are preprocessed with a random location matrix. After that the preprocessed bitplanes are adaptively spread spectrum and added in 3D wavelet coefficients of the video shot. Our video watermarking algorithm is robust against the attacks of frame dropping, averaging and swapping. Furthermore, it allows blind retrieval of embedded watermark which does not need the original video and the watermark is perceptually invisible. The algorithm design, evaluation, and experimentation of the proposed scheme are described in this paper.
