Abstract

Intellectual property rights and claiming ownership are two prime requirements of the digital video watermarking. The issues which researchers are interested in digital video watermarking applications lie in the creation of new algorithms to cater four requirements of making oblivious, robust, high-capacity, and secured watermarking. This work presents an improved video watermarking scheme based on the undecimated discrete wavelet transform (UDWT). The frames of cover video are divided into \(\text {8} \times \text {8}\) blocks. Two AC coefficients are selected in each \(\text {8} \times \text {8}\) block to insert the watermark bit. The process is applied on four bands of UDWT and the redundancy in this transform allowed to produce a video watermarking with large capacity. Due to the masking properties of human visual system of UDWT, the watermarking scheme is made oblivious. The experimental results prove that proposed video watermarking scheme is providing all the four requirements of watermarking that is security, oblivious, robustness, and capacity.
