Abstract
Video watermarking techniques can be used to prevent unauthorized users from illegally distributing videos across (social) media networks. However, current watermarking solutions are unable to embed a perceptually invisible watermark which is robust to the distortions introduced by camcording. These watermark-disrupting distortions include lossy compression, the addition of noise, frame-rate conversion and geometric distortions. In this paper, we present a novel video watermarking technique that is blind and robust to camcording attacks. The proposed approach uses the integration of the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) to achieve robustness against geometric attacks. The experimental results validate our technique’s superior imperceptibility and robustness to several attacks when compared to existing peer mechanisms. In conclusion, the proposed technique can be used to protect against illegal distribution of video content.
