Abstract:
A zero-watermarking registration and detection method for HEVC video streaming against requantization transcoding is provided. To increase an attack-resistance of a registration watermarking, the registration method firstly processes depth values corresponding to respective brightness blocks in a target video streaming with a depth binarization during constructing registration watermarking information through depth features, because the depth binarization well reflects a robustness of the registration watermarking. A first watermarking information matrix including a part of the depth values after the depth binarization is encrypted with a random matrix, so as to increase a safety of the registration watermarking. The registration method directly generates zero-watermarking through the depth features of the video streaming without modifying original carrier information and affecting a watermarking transparency. Meanwhile, the registration method has a strong robustness against attacks, such as the requantization transcoding of quantization parameters within a certain range of variation and common signal processing.

CROSS REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    The application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a-d) to CN 201510664347.0, filed Oct. 15, 2015. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0002]    Field of Invention 
         [0003]    The present invention relates to a video zero-watermarking technology, and more particularly to a zero-watermarking registration and detection method for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) video streaming against requantization transcoding. 
         [0004]    Description of Related Arts 
         [0005]    The demands of people on the video gradually develop toward the high definition and the high quality. In order to adapt to the development trend, the video coding joint tram including the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) video coding experts group and the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) moving picture experts group cooperatively developed the HEVC standard which was officially released in 2013 and has been widely applied in the various video operators. However, with the maturing of the multi-media and network technology, it is easier to obtain and process the video, and the pirate phenomenon is increasingly more serious. The digital watermarking technology is able to effectively authenticate the video and provide a copyright protection for the video. Thus, the research on the watermarking algorithm of the HEVC video streaming shows a great significance. 
         [0006]    The high-definition video has an enormous data volume. It is inevitable to compress the high-definition video for saving the bandwidth and the memory space. The watermarking method based on the original video cannot be directly applied for the compressed video. Thus, the watermarking algorithm in the compressed domain is worth researching. Currently, the research achievements on the watermarking for the HEVC compressed domain are still few. The conventional watermarking methods fail to resist the attack, such as the requantization transcoding, and mainly adopt the embedded watermarking which requires modifying the carrier content to embed the watermarking. However, compared with the H.264/Advanced Video Coding (H.264/AVC), the HEVC is able to decrease the bit rate by about 50% at a similar perception quality. The high compression ratio challenges the balance between the robustness and the transparency of the embedded watermarking algorithm. The zero-watermarking technology constructs the watermarking information merely with the important features of the original carrier, without modifying the original carrier, and is able to solve the degradation problem of the high-definition video caused by modifying the data of the HEVC video streaming. Since the zero-watermarking was proposed, the zero-watermarking has been applied in the content safety protection for the various information carriers, such as the images, the videos and the audios. However, the research on the zero-watermarking algorithm for the video compressed domain has been rarely reported. 
       SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0007]    An object of the present invention is to provide a zero-watermarking registration and detection method for HEVC video streaming against requantization transcoding, which has a strong robustness against attacks, such as the requantization transcoding of a quantization parameter (QP) within a certain range of variation and common signal processing, without modifying data of an original carrier.

         [0061]    Compared with prior arts, the present invention has following advantages. 
         [0062]    Firstly, by counting changes in the depth of coding units of a video sequence before and after the requantization transcoding, it is found that depth features have a good robustness. Thus, to increase an attack-resistance of the registration watermarking, the zero-watermarking registration method for the HEVC video streaming, provided by the present invention, processes the depth value corresponding to the respective brightness block in the target video streaming with the depth binarization during constructing the registration watermarking information with the depth features, because the depth binarization well reflects the robustness of the registration watermarking. 
         [0063]    Secondly, the zero-watermarking registration method for the HEVC video streaming, provided by the present invention, encrypts the first watermarking information matrix which includes a part of the depth values after the depth binarization with the random matrix, so as to increase a safety of the registration watermarking. 
         [0064]    Thirdly, the zero-watermarking registration method for the HEVC video streaming, provided by the present invention, directly generates zero-watermarking through the depth features of the video streaming, without modifying original carrier information and affecting a watermarking transparency. 
         [0065]    Fourthly, the watermarking is able to be extracted blindly without a participation of the original video. Additionally, it is only necessary to decode the depth part of the HEVC video to be detected, needless of decoding the overall HEVC video, resulting in a low calculation complexity. 
         [0066]    These and other objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

         [0140]    1) Independence of Zero-Watermarking 
         [0141]    The zero-watermarking is a specific characterization of a carrier, and thus the zero-watermarkings of the different video sequences are required to be mutually independent. Take the PartyScene test sequence and the BQMall test sequence as examples to test the independence of the zero-watermarking, both of the two test sequences have the resolution of 832×480. According to the zero-watermarking registration method provided by the present invention, the registration watermarking information of the PartyScene test sequence and the BQMall test sequence is obtained.  FIG. 3 a    shows a first final copyright logo image obtained from the unattacked PartyScene test sequence which serves as the HEVC video to be detected.  FIG. 3 b    shows a second final copyright logo image obtained from the unattacked BQMall test sequence which serves as the HEVC video to be detected. According to the obtained final copyright logo images, when the HEVC video to be detected is the same as an original registration video, the complete original copyright logo image is obtained; when the HEVC video to be detected is different from the original registration video, it is failed to obtain the original copyright logo image. Accordingly, the zero-watermarkings of the different video sequences are required to be mutually independent. 
         [0142]    2) Robustness Against Requantization Transcoding 
         [0143]    The requantization transcoding destroys the compressed domain watermarking with a certain video quality loss and is one of the most common compressed video watermarking attack manners. The requantization transcoding is to process the video sequence with compressing and coding once again. According to the second preferred embodiment, the original coding QP of the test sequences are respectively 24, 28, and 32.  FIG. 4 a    shows a first PC curve diagram of the watermarking extraction of the BasketballPass, the ParkScene, the PartyScene and the Vidyol test sequences after the requantization transcoding attack when the original coding QP is 24.  FIG. 4 b    shows a second PC curve diagram of the watermarking extraction of the BasketballPass, the ParkScene, the PartyScene and the Vidyol test sequences after the requantization transcoding attack when the original coding QP is 28.  FIG. 4 c    shows a third PC curve diagram of the watermarking extraction of the BasketballPass, the ParkScene, the PartyScene and the Vidyol test sequences after the requantization transcoding attack when the original coding QP is 32. The PC curve diagrams of the watermarking extraction, as showed in  FIGS. 4 a -4 c   , illustrate that the PC of the watermarking extraction changes with the different original coding QPs of the requantization transcoding. According to  FIGS. 4 a -4 c   , the PCs of the watermarking extraction of the method, provided by the present invention, are all over 85%, illustrating that the method provided by the present invention is able to resist the requantization transcoding attack within a certain range of the coding QP. In a range of [QP−3, QP], the PC has little change, mainly above 95%; and in a range of [QP+1, QP+3], the PC decreases obviously, and the lowest PC is 85.34%, mainly because an increase of the original coding QP has a relatively large influence on a rate distortion loss when determining a size of coding units.
