Anti-HEVC Recompression Video Watermarking Algorithm Based on the All Phase Biorthogonal Transform and SVD

Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet of Things and multimedia technologies, people are paying more attention to the security of images and videos. To further improve the security of video content, a video watermarking algorithm based on the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) compression domain is proposed in this paper. The scheme embeds watermark information in the quantized coefficients, which can solve the cumulative error caused by watermark embedding. Moreover, the all phase biorthogonal transform (APBT), an improved transform, is used to compress the watermark data at the digital watermark preprocessing stage, optimize the watermark embedding scheme, and improve the embedding capacity of video watermarking. Due to the characteristics of HEVC video coding, most HEVC video watermarking schemes based on compression domain cannot resist recompression attack. To solve this problem, on the basis of APBT and singular value decomposition, an anti-HEVC recompression video watermarking algorithm is proposed and can effectively resist the HEVC recompression. Experimental results show that even when the quantization parameter is larger than 40, the extracted watermark still has good image quality. In addition, the algorithm also has a good performance in noise resistance.
