Robust video watermarking using maximum likelihood decoder

Abstract

In this paper, a robust multiplicative video watermarking scheme is presented. We segment the video signal into 3-D blocks like cubes, and then apply 3-D wavelet transform to each block. The watermark is inserted through multiplying the low frequency wavelet coefficients by a constant parameter that controls the power of the watermark. The proposed watermark extraction procedure is based on the maximum likelihood rule applied to the watermarked wavelet coefficients.
