Video watermarking based on Cuckoo search and scene change detection

This paper presents Digital Video Watermarking based on Cuckoo Search nature inspired algorithm involving scene change detection. Two famous lévy flight algorithms associated with Cuckoo Search algorithm are presented known as Mantegna Algorithm and McCulloch algorithm. In this paper, we explained why cuckoo search algorithm is efficient in digital watermarking followed by watermarking of the video frames only during scene change detection in the video. Finally, we compared the results of both the lévy flight algorithms — Mantegna algorithm and McCulloch algorithm on the basis of imperceptibility and robustness of the watermarked image.
