Abstract- H.264/AVC is becoming a popular video codec for
its better compression ratio, lower distortion and applicability
to portable electronic devices. Thus, issues of copyright
protection appropriate for this standard become very
important. In this paper, a new blind SVD (Singular Value
Decomposition)- DCT combined video watermarking scheme
for the ".264 standard is proposed. The proposed method is a
blind watermarking algorithm as the hidden information can be
extracted without the original video and the original singular
values. To reduce visual quality degradation caused by
coefficients modifying, the perceptual model and block selection
mechanism are introduced to control the modification strength.
The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with
respect to imperceptibility, robustness and data payload.
Experimental results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves
enough robustness while preserving the perceptual quality.
