A New Scheme for Robust Blind Digital Video Watermarking: Approach, Evaluation and Experimentation

We present a new DWT-based blind digital video watermarking scheme with scrambled watermark. Our scheme embeds different parts of a signal watermark into different scenes of a video under the wavelet domain. The features of our video watermarking algorithm are: (1) it allows blind retrieval of embedded watermark which does not need the original video; (2) the watermark is perceptually invisible; (3) it is robust against the attack of frame dropping, averaging and statistical analysis; and (4) it is resistant to lossy compression. The algorithm design, evaluation, and experimentation of the proposed scheme are described in this paper.
