摘要: A selective encryption scheme for region of interest (ROI) of H.264 video is proposed to protect the personal privacy in a video. The most important part of video can be protected with less cost and operation by only encrypting the content of ROIs. Human face regions are selected as ROI and detected by using Gaussian skin color model. Independent ROI encoding is realized with the mechanism of flexible macro-block ordering (FMO). Frames are divided into grid-like slice-groups which can be combined flexibly to form a required ROI. Both luminance component and chrominance component of the macro-blocks in ROI are modified to achieve good encryption quality and location accuracy. In the process of decryption, the encrypted area is located automatically. There is no need to transmit additional position information of ROIs to the end of decryption. The encrypted video is decrypted correctly with the secret key. JM18.4 software is employed to perform the simulation experiment. Experimental results show the accuracy and effectiveness of our scheme to encrypt and decrypt the ROIs in H.264 video.

The encrypted video is decrypted correctly with the secret key. JM18.4 software is employed to perform the simulation experiment.
