Abstract

Watermarking is the advanced technology to illuminate the issue of securing sight and secret data. It is the ability of covering the data into a host with the end goal that the inserted information is undetectable. In this proposed approach layer fusion based technique is employed, alternative pixels from the chrominance layers forms a merged layer and mark the transpose value of the distinctive pieces of color copyright information under wavelet. Finally, the layers retain the original position form a watermarked video frame. The experimental results on video sequences are showing the effectiveness better than the existing techniques in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Correlation Coefficient (CC). Likewise, the results indicate that the framework can be strong against regular video processing attacks.
