Abstract
One of the main goals of watermarking is to optimize capacity while preserving high video fidelity. This paper describes a watermarking scheme based on the spread spectrum paradigm with capacity enhancement using a state-of-the-art error correction technique – duo-binary turbo coding. A new watermark composition with novel bit-wise watermark bits interleaving scheme and bit-rate control on the macro-block level is proposed. In previous works, the perceptual watermark adjustment was mainly based on Watson Just Noticeable Difference (JND) model. A new JND estimation model based on block classification is presented. In addition, experimental results on perceptibility and robustness to transcoding are reported.
