A Blind Video Watermarking Scheme based on Scene Change Detection

Digital watermarking method is a good technique to protect the copyright ownership of electronic data. In the present paper, we propose a new digital video watermarking scheme based on detection of different shots from the video for embedding identical watermark to the similar frames and dissimilar watermarks in dissimilar frames. Visual cryptography is included in the proposed scheme for encryption of the watermark and for better security. Experimental results show that the proposed method can withstand different types of video attacks, especially frame averaging, frame dropping, frame swapping and interpolation, besides different types of malicious attacks such as JPEG compression, sharpening, lightening, darkening, noising, blurring, distortion, rescaling, rotation, cropping, jittering, mosaic, stirmark attacks etc.
