Abstract

Straightforward adaptations of results for still images watermarking have led to non-secure video watermarking algorithms. The very specific nature of digital video has indeed to be considered so that robustness and security issues are handled efficiently. As a result, a novel video watermarking scheme is presented in this paper: security is achieved by using a smooth time-dependent strength and payload is encoded in the phase difference between several signals transmitted along non-interfering communication channels. Moreover, temporal synchronization can be done in a blind manner on the detector side. The proposed scheme is finally proven to be secure against traditional intra-video collusion attacks and robust against MPEG compression.
