Robust Video Watermarking against H.264 and H.265 Compression Attacks
This addresses the need for robust video watermarking against modern compression standards, but it is incremental as it builds on existing inter prediction techniques.
The paper tackles the problem of embedding watermarks in uncompressed video to resist H.264 and H.265 compression attacks by embedding data in mid-range transform coefficients of blocks with low similarity across frames, resulting in adequate robustness and transparency as shown in simulations.
This paper proposes a robust watermarking method for uncompressed video data against H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC compression standards. We embed the watermark data in the mid-range transform coefficients of a block that is less similar to its corresponding block in the previous and next frames. This idea makes the watermark robust against the compression standards that use the inter prediction technique. The last two video compression standards also use inter prediction for motion compensation like previous video compression standards. Therefore, the proposed method is also well suited with these standards. Simulation results show the adequate robustness and transparency of our watermarking scheme.
