“…Over the last decade, numerous software implementations of WM algorithms for relatively low data rate signals (such as audio and image data) have been invented [6], [7]. While the software approach has the advantage of flexibility, computational limitations may arise when attempting to utilize these WM methods for video signals or in portable devices.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a hardware implementation of a digital watermarking system that can insert invisible, semifragile watermark information into compressed video streams in real time. The watermark embedding is processed in the discrete cosine transform domain. To achieve high performance, the proposed system architecture employs pipeline structure and uses parallelism. Hardware implementation using field programmable gate array has been done, and an experiment was carried out using a custom versatile breadboard for overall performance evaluation. Experimental results show that a hardware-based video authentication system using this watermarking technique features minimum video quality degradation and can withstand certain potential attacks, i.e., cover-up attacks, cropping, and segment removal on video sequences. Furthermore, the proposed hardwarebased watermarking system features low power consumption, low cost implementation, high processing speed, and reliability.Index Terms-Digital video watermarking, hardware implementation, real-time data hiding, very large scale integration (VLSI), video authentication.

“…Inserting a unique watermark ID for each customer transmitted through Pay-Per-View and Video-On-Demand services enables it to trace back traitor users (Lin, 2001). But its first targeted application is copyright protection, in which the owner inserts its registered watermark into the digital property to prove its paternity in the case of finding an illegally copied version (Qiao, 1998).…”

Abstract:A major class of image and video watermarking algorithms, i.e. content-based watermarking, is based on the concept of Human Visual System (HVS) in order to adapt more efficiently to the local characteristics of the host signal. In this paper, a content-based video watermarking scheme is developed and the concept of entropy masking effect is employed to significantly improve the use of the HVS model. Entropy masking effect states that the human eye's sensitivity decreases in high entropy regions, i.e. regions with spatial or temporal complexity. The spatial entropy masking effect has been exploited in a number of previous works in order to enhance the robustness of image-adaptive watermarks. In the current research, we use the temporal entropy masking as well to achieve a higher performance in video watermarking. Experimental results show that more robust watermarked video sequences are produced considering temporal entropy masking effect, while the watermarks are still subjectively imperceptible. Robustness enhancement is a function of temporal and spatial complexity of the host video sequences.
