Description: TOPIC: A VIDEO WATERMARKING APPROACH USING DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM

LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A

ABSTRACT:
There are more and more internet applications that require multimedia delivery. However, the multimedia delivery poses a significant challenge to multimedia ownership protection. For example, online multimedia can be easily redistributed and copied without its ownership permission. There is a strong need to protect the copyright of multimedia content in many application scenarios. Digital video watermarking is one of major techniques that are used for copyright protection. In this technique, a text or an image could be embedded into the video as a proof of its ownership. In this project, I investigated and implemented a video watermarking approach based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In the approach, a watermark is inserted into the video and is also extracted for its owner to claim the copyright of the video. To test the strength of the watermark, certain attacks such as rotating and resizing the video are performed on watermarked video. The Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) and normalized correlation are also measured to demonstrate the performance of the watermarking approach.
