Abstract

An apparatus and method for video watermarking are provided. The apparatus and method include receiving a bit stream encoded by a video encoder by a spatial domain information analyzer and extracting information from a spatial domain of an image with respect to code words forming the bit stream, grouping the code words for each segmented domain by a domain classifier based on the information from the spatial domain, determining a sign of the each segmented domain by a domain sign determiner and inserting a watermark in the each segmented domain according to the sign determined by the domain sign determiner by a watermark bit inserter.

Claims (17)

1. A video watermark detection apparatus for detecting a watermark that is watermarked by a video watermarking apparatus, the video watermark detection apparatus comprising:

a parameter extractor for receiving compressed digital video and for providing spatial information of an image of the compressed digital video;

a bit stream grouping unit for grouping the received compressed digital video based on the spatial information of the image of the compressed digital video;

a spatial domain classifier for receiving a decoded digital video derived from the compressed digital video and for classifying spatial domain data of an image of the decoded digital video;

a watermark detector for extracting a watermark bit inserted for each of a plurality of domains from data of each domain; and

a memory for storing the extracted watermark bit,

wherein a first watermark bit is extracted based on a first sign determined by the video watermarking apparatus and a second watermark bit is extracted based on a second sign determined by the video watermarking apparatus.

2. A video watermarking apparatus comprising:

a spatial domain information analyzer receiving a bit stream encoded by a video encoder and extracting information from a spatial domain of an image with respect to code words forming the bit stream;

a spatial domain classifier for grouping the code words associated with each segment of a plurality of segments of the spatial domain, based on the information from the code words;

a domain sign determiner for determining a sign of each segment of the spatial domain;

a watermark bit inserter for inserting a watermark in each segment of the spatial domain according to the sign determined by the domain sign determiner;

a parameter extractor for receiving compressed digital video and providing spatial information of an image of the compressed digital video;

a bit stream grouping unit for grouping the received compressed digital video based on the spatial information of the image of the compressed digital video;

a spatial domain classifier for receiving a decoded digital video derived from the compressed digital video and classifying spatial domain data of an image of the decoded digital video;

a watermark detector for extracting a watermark bit inserted for each of a plurality of domains from data of each domain; and

a memory for storing the extracted watermark bit.
