Abstract

In this paper a new video watermarking scheme is proposed which depends on 2-level Discrete Wavelet Transform decomposition of each component of an RGB video frame. The scheme embeds independent watermarks into different shots. A genetic algorithm is employed to match shots to watermarks. The scheme chooses between the HL1 of red or green or blue components of each frame based on a key and embeds error correcting code into one of them. The scheme is blind. Experimental results show that the scheme is robust against attacks such as frame dropping, frame averaging, frame swapping, statistical analysis, and MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compression. The proposed scheme uses a composite three-element key to increase the security.
