Robust Watermarking for MPEG-2 Videos

Abstract

A robust watermarking technique is proposed for protecting the author’s intellectual property rights (IPR) in MPEG-2 video sequence. The author’s identification data is embedded into the Y component of the uncompressed video sequence. Employing HVS, the proposed watermarking embeds the secret information into the wavelet coefficients of the frame. Simulation results show that the robust watermarking method can against intentional attacks, such as video sequence recompression, frame blurring, frame cropping, frame noising, frame sharpening, and frame filtering.
