In this paper, we propose watermark algorithm called TDWA(Time-Division Watermarking Algorithm) and we applied the proposed algorithm to H.264 video coding standard. We establish that a proposed algorithm is applied to H.264 baseline profile CODEC. The proposed algorithm inserts a watermark into the spatial domain of several frames. We can easily insert strong and invisible watermarks into original pictures using this method. For verification of the proposed algorithm we design hardware core using Verilog-HDL and Excalibur for JM 8.7 code with hardware & software co-simulation. As a result of verification, the PSNR between watermarked pictures and original pictures are more than 60dB and we found the watermark is kept more than 80% after encoding of H.264/AVC with quantization parameter of 28 in baseline profile.

In this paper, we present a watermarking method for 3-D mesh sequences. The main idea is to transform vertex norm with the identical connectivity index along temporal axis using wavelet transform and modify the distribution of wavelet coefficients in temporally high (or middle) frequency frames according to watermark bit to be embedded. All vertices are divided into groups, namely bin, using the distribution of coefficients in low frequency frames. As the vertices with the identical connectivity index over whole frames belong to one bin, their wavelet coefficients are also assigned into the same bin. Then, the watermark is embedded into the wavelet coefficients of vertex norm. Due to the use of the distribution, our method can retrieve the hidden watermark without any information about original mesh sequences in the process of watermark detection. Through simulations, we show that the proposed is flirty robust against various attacks that are probably concerned in copyright protection of 3-D mesh sequences.
