Optimum Decoder for an Additive Video Watermarking with Laplacian Noise in H.264 (1506.01501v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate an additive video watermarking method in H.264 standard in presence of the Laplacian noise. In some applications, due to the loss of some pixels or a region of a frame, we resort to Laplacian noise rather than Gaussian one. The embedding is performed in the transform domain; while an optimum and a sub-optimum decoder are derived for the proposed Laplacian model. Simulation results show that the proposed watermarking scheme has suitable performance with enough transparency required for watermarking applications.
