Hardware implementation perspectives of digital video watermarking algorithms

We consider hardware implementation aspects of the digital watermarking problem through the implementation of a well-known video watermarking algorithm called just another watermarking system (JAWS); we discuss the time and area constraints that must be satisfied by a successful hardware implementation. A hardware architecture that implements the algorithm under the constraints is then proposed. The architecture is analyzed to gain an understanding of the relationships between algorithmic features and implementation cost. Some general findings of this work that can be applied toward making algorithmic developments more amenable to hardware implementation are finally presented.
