Dual segment video watermarking using energy efficient technique

Digital watermarking is a technique to employ copyright protection and ensure the authenticity of the owner using a proof of ownership embedded in a multimedia file. The objective of this paper is to present a novel digital video watermarking scheme using dual watermark. The binary watermark image is distributed over audio samples in which first four samples of each frame are watermarked with 4 bits of the image using multiple bit plane scheme. For the gray scale watermark, the FFT is taken and the samples are embedded in the FFT samples of video frames using Energy Efficient scheme. The watermarked video is subjected to different attacks and the efficiency of the technique is measured using Correlation Factor and PSNR. The algorithm presented is robust, secure and is energy efficient with decreased payload on the host signal.
