Digital content piracy is one of the major crimes in the present world. Protection of digital content like music, video and images has become a major problem. Watermarking is one of the methods to protect digital content against unauthorized copying. In watermarking procedure, generally, watermark is embedded before it is going to be distributed over different communication channels. This paper...

The aim of this report is to provide background information on all topics in literature that are relevant to the development of a video watermarking method that will incorporate motion information in the embedding algorithm. First, a short introduction to digital video and digital image processing is given. Next, the following subjects are covered in more detail: video watermarking, the human v...

In this paper a benchmarking system for watermarking algorithms is described. The proposed benchmarking system can be used to evaluate the performance of watermarking methods used for copyright protection, authentication, fingerprinting, etc. Although the system described in the paper is used for image watermarking, the general framework can be used, by introducing a different set of attacks, f...

Video watermarking is well known as the process of embedding copy right information in video bit streams. It had been proposed in recent years to solve the problem of illegal manipulation and distribution of digital video . In this study, an effective, robust DCT transform using MATLAB. In the proposed method, first the video frames are extracted from the host video. Then, each frame gets water...

Video watermarking is one of the most widespread techniques amongst many presently are used; this because extreme existences copyright abuse and misappropriation occur for video content. In paper, a new algorithm proposed to embed logo in digital protection. To make watermarks more robust attack, host frame embedding indices must be changeable. A determined frames by plasma function, Host locat...

Embedding information into multimedia data, also called watermarking, is a topic that has gained increased attention recently. For video broadcast applications, watermarking schemes operating on compressed video are desirable. We present a scheme for robust watermarking of MPEG-2 encoded video. The watermark is embedded into the MPEG-2 bitstream without increasing the bit-rate, and can be retri...
