Abstract

Watermarking is defined as about hiding any valuable information set in the particular digital media by itself through modifying the particular graphic contents. In our proposed method, the process of watermarking is performed from video data. In this work group search optimization is used to determine the position, selection for watermarking. The proposed framework includes the following stages particularly, frame conversion, preprocessing, watermark image selection, watermarking position selection and inverse watermarking. Initially, the input video is segregated into a number of frames. Then in preprocessing, both the input and the original image are resized and the original image is transformed by discrete wavelet transform. Then the secret data to be embedded is selected and replaced in the watermark position determined through the Group Search Optimization (GSO) Algorithm. Finally, inverse watermarking is performed to retrieve the secret data. The proposed technique is implemented in the working platform of MATLAB which shows improved results by using GSO as compared to without GSO method.
