Abstract

Video watermarking is an important method of protecting the intellectual property copyright of the video media. It allows embedding of copyright information into the video pictures. In this paper a new digital video watermarking scheme with an Error Correcting Code (ECC) is proposed. This watermarking scheme maximizes the watermark payload while minimizing the perceptual degradation of video quality caused by the embedded watermark by means of an appropriate choice of embedding position. Two error correcting codes, BCH (31,8) and Turbo (3,1) were implemented and compared. We found that BCH (31,8) achieved higher error correcting capability than Turbo (3,1) under the simulated noise tests.
