Abstract: A hybrid digital watermarking system for video authentication includes an authenticated acquisition subsystem for digitally watermarking video data and a video management subsystem in signal communication with the authenticated acquisition subsystem for verifying the digitally watermarked video data, where the authenticated acquisition subsystem may include a watermarking device for applying each of an identity signature and a control signature to the video data within a hybrid digital watermark, and the hybrid digital watermark may achieve progressively varying robustness by means of error-correcting signature coding and/or rate-distortion guided bit embedding.
Abstract: A system, method and data unit for automated and secure digital mobile video recording and monitoring are provided where the system includes an authenticated acquisition subsystem for digitally watermarking video data, a video management subsystem in signal communication with the authenticated acquisition subsystem for storing, viewing and verifying the digitally watermarked video data, and a secure wireless video transfer subsystem for signal communication between the acquisition and management subsystems; the method includes digitally watermarking video data, verifying the digitally watermarked video data, and coordinating communications of video data; and the data unit is a digital video data file encoded with signal data having block transform coefficients indicative of a secure digital mobile video recording, the coefficients collectively indicative of an original video data sequence with a secure watermark, the secure watermark including a plurality of signatures.
