Securing Color Video When Transmitting through Communication Channels Using DT-CWT-Based Watermarking

Abstract

In this paper, a color video watermarking system based on SVD in the complex wavelet domain is proposed. The process of inserting copyright information in video bit streams is known as video watermarking. It has been advocated in recent years as a solution to the problem of unlawful digital video alteration and dissemination. An effective, robust, and invisible video watermarking algorithm is proposed in this paper. The two-level dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and singular value decomposition are used to create this approach, which was built on a cascade of two powerful mathematical transforms. This hybrid technique demonstrates a high level of security as well as various levels of attack robustness. The proposed algorithm was used to the test for imperceptibility and robustness, and this resulted in excellent grades. We compared our suggested method to a DWT-SVD-based technique and found it to be far more reliable and effective.
