Abstract: This paper proposed a robust adaptive differential energy video watermarking algorithm based on Watson visual model, which uses the differential energy theory to insert robust watermark into video stream. This algorithm can control the watermark’s embedding intensity of sublow AC coefficients in the video stream adaptively through Watson visual model. And it also can choose the region to embed watermark according to the relationship between the energy’s adjustable threshold and differential energy. So watermark not only meets the nonvisual perception, but also has better robustness. The experiments show that this algorithm has strong robustness and security against the common video attacks such as noise, filter and frame attack etc.
