Abstract


Watermarking is widely used in multimedia preservation and communication, which comprises, and is therefore not limited to, data security and validation. Security, readability, imperceptibility, and resilience are some of the key advantages of this technology. However, there are still certain issues that need to be addressed, such as the ability to withstand a variety of assaults without substantially affecting the quality and value of embedded data. Based on its operational domain, the watermarking technology may be divided into two groups: spatial and frequency watermarking. An index mapping-based watermarking approach for copyright protection of multi-media color videos is presented in this paper. We offer a hybrid discrete wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform (DCT) watermarking algorithm for digital video watermarking of a color video watermark. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), similarity structure index measure (SSIM), have been used to analyze the distortion produced by watermarking. It is suggested that the proposed video watermarking method provides greater imperceptibility in conjunction with each other with the human visual system and it offers higher robustness against different attacks.
