A fast watermark embedding method for MPEG-2 bit stream

MPEG-2 비트 스트림에 대한 고속 워터마크 삽입방법

In this paper, we propose a new watermarking algorithm for copyright protection of video data. The proposed algorithm inserts a watermark directly on the MPEG-2 bitstream. Since more and more video data are stored and transmitted in a compressed form, it is desirable to insert a watermark on the compressed bit stream to avoid the expensive full-decoding and re-encoding process. Embedding a watermark in the compressed domain, we can also avoid the effect of the compression error which may erase the watermark.
