Robust spread spectrum watermarking system in video

In this paper we propose robust watermarking schema for video files based on spread spectrum theory. The main concept relies on utilization of time as temporal dimension for spreading of watermark bits that are assigned to video frames. The second level spreading that is impartial to first level, uses different set of PN sequences within the video frames what allows to utilize multiple watermarking methods designed for still images simultaneously. Two dimensional spread spectrum watermarking framework allows acquiring a high level of robustness with desired imperceptibility of hidden watermark. Two independent embedding methods LSB and DCT were tested during embedding as representative techniques of different embedding domain. The presented results show that proposed watermarking schema is able to withstand intentional attacks. The proposed system is robust and adaptive to recent and newly developed embedding technique, which could provide a requisite of robustness and protection against copyright infringement.
