Abstract

This paper presents a color video watermarking scheme using Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) with good imperceptibility and high robustness. The binary watermark is embedded into blocks of low-level sub-band of the wavelet transform. Using blind extraction process, the watermark is extracted from the watermarked color video. The proposed watermarking scheme protects the copyright information from adversaries and also helps in claiming the ownership of the video content. From the experimental results, it is found that the proposed scheme is robust to all possible attacks and has better results when compared to existing watermarking schemes.
