Abstract

A novel H.264/AVC watermarking method is proposed in this paper. By embedding the robust watermark into DCT domain and the fragile watermark into motion vectors respectively, the proposed method can jointly achieve both copyright protection and authentication. Our scheme outperforms other video watermarking schemes on higher watermarking capacity especially in lower compression bit-rates. Furthermore, being well aligned with Lagrangian optimization for mode choice featured in H.264/AVC, the proposed scheme only introduces small distortions into the video content. Experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed solution is very computationally efficient during watermark extraction.
