Digital watermarking for advanced image and video coding standards

Abstract

Most of the time, media contents are sold and transmitted in compliant with international compression/coding standards. Re- searchers are therefore motivated to propose watermarking techniques aligned with popular coding standards. In this thesis, we will focus on two of the most common media types: image and video. New techniques for digital watermark- ing have been investigated, developed and implemented for the JPEG-2000 image compression standard and the H.264/AVC video coding standard.
