Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a video watermarking algerian based on wavelet transform using statistical characteristic of video according to the energy distribution and the spread spectrum technique. In the proposed method, the original video is splitted by spatial difference metric and classified into the motion region and the motionless region according to the motion degree. The motion region is decomposed into 3-levels using 3D DWT and the motionless region is decomposed into 2-levels using 2D DWT The baseband of the wavelet-decomposed image is not utilized because of the image quality. So that the standard deviation of the highest subband coefficients except for the baseband is used to determine the threshold. Binary video watermarks preprocessed by the random permutation and the spread spectrum technique are embedded into selected coefficients. In computer experiments, the proposed algorithm was found to be more invisible and robust than the conventional algorithms.

본 논문에서는 영상의 에너지 분포에 따른 통계적 특성과 대역확산방법 (direct sequence spread spectrum)을 이용한 웨이블릿 기반의 비디오 워터마킹(watermarking) 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 원 비디오를 공간 영역에서 움직임의 다소에 따라 분류된 움직임이 큰 영역과 움직임이 적은 영역을 공간계차측정 (spatial difference metric)방법에 의해 나누어진 장면 (scene) 단위로 각각 3차원 DWT와 2차원 DWT를 수행하여 3 레벨 및 2 레벨로 각각 분해한다. 비가시성과 견고성을 만족시키기 위해 기저대역을 제외한 레벨 3 및 레벨 2에서 부대역 계수값의 표준편차를 이용하여 문턱값을 정하고 워터마크가 삽입될 계수를 각각 선택한다. 그리고 워터마크(watermark)는 시각적인 정보를 가진 이진 영상으로 임의 교환 (random permutation) 후 대역확산방법을 이용하여 비디오 워터마크로 대체되어 선택된 계수에 삽입된다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가를 위한 모의실험 결과에서 기존의 방법보다 비가시성 및 견고성이 우수함을 확인하였다.
