Robust Video Watermarking by amalgamation of Image transforms and optimized Firefly Algorithm

摘要

Illicit duplication, circulation and amendment of digitized works are well thought-out infringements aligned with intellectual property rights. Thus digital watermarking came into subsistence due to the evolving obligation of copyright protection and is a technique that inserts information, such as ownership and authentication information into digital data to avert on or after illegal copying. An innovative scheme is offered in the accessible paper to execute blind video watermarking based on the feature constraints extorted from an amalgamated domain in conjunction with the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Schur decomposition and an optimized Firefly Algorithm. In this paper, 2D DCT is applied on all 8×8 blocks of the luminance frame of the video and after relating Schur factorization merely on few of Selected_dct block of each frame which are chosen by firefly optimization technique, the stable largest eigen values of the upper triangle are used as robust locations for inserting with the singular values of watermark attained by SVD in each frame to secure transparency and robustness in conflict to numeral of attacks. The experimental outcome validate that the projected method handle to accord expertly with low computational complexity along with there is more endurable control to bit rate lift and at the same time perceptual quality can be kept in subsistence even after undergoing different attacks through an assortment of watermarking necessities.
