Abstract

This paper proposes a adaptive video watermarking algorithm according to bitrate and motion vector size in MPEG2 system. The watermark strength in the I-frames is adapted for quantization step size and the strength in the P-B-frames is adapted for quantization step size and motion vector of macroblock to make the watermark more robust against the accompanying degradation due to aggressively compression. A realtime watermark extraction is done directly in the DCT domain during MPEG decoding without full decoding of MPEG video. The experimental simulations show that the video quality results almost invisible difference between the watermarked frames and the original frames and the watermark is resistant to frame dropping, MPEG compression, GoP conversion and low pass filter attacks.

본 논문에서는 MPEG2 부호화기내에서 워터마크 세기를 비트율과 움직임 벡터의 크기에 따라 적응적으로 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. I 프레임에 대하여는 양자화 스텝 크기에 따라 워터마크 세기를 가변적으로 조절하고, P, B 프레임은 고효율의 압축이 실현되므로 워터마크의 강인성을 유지하기 위해 비트율과 매크로 블록의 움직임 벡터의 크기에 따라 적응적으로 워터마크 세기를 조절한다. 워터마크 검출은 MPEG 동영상을 완전히 복호화하지 않고 MPEG 복호화시에 DCT 영역에서 실시간으로 검출한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 화질의 차이가 눈에 띄지 않고 GoP 변환후 동영상 재압축, 저주파 필터 공격과 프레임 삭제 등의 동영상 편집 공격에서도 강인함을 나타낸다.
