With the development of communication networks and the widespread use of mobile terminals, videos are increasingly shared and distributed among mobile users. During the process, the video is recompressed to a certain file size on the sending side and sent to the receiving side via the server. This makes robust video watermark with low complexity to resist recompression attacks become an important issue to address. The proposed video watermarking method in this article is specially designed for resisting recompression attacks when quantization parameter (QP) is greatly increased. In the proposed method, by using the texture information and motion information of video, the invariance of video content under different quantization parameters could be found to help improve the anti-recompression attack ability of video watermark. Moreover, the proposed framework does not use a location map which has security risk to locate the watermark. It aims at finding the optimal location of watermark embedding adaptively according to the feature of video content itself. The experiment results indicate that the proposed video watermarking method can not only achieve greater robustness against recompression attack but also effectively limit the degradation in video perceptual quality.
