Abstract
In this paper we propose a method that identifies users at H.264 streaming using watermarking with fingerprints. The watermark can efficiently reduce the potential danger of forgery or alteration. Especially a biometric watermark has various advantages. Among entire biometric characteristics, the fingerprint is the most convenient and economical. In this paper we propose a novel fingerprint-based watermarking technique that can survive under very low bit-rate compression. The proposed algorithm consists of enhancement of a fingerprint image, watermark insertion using discrete wavelet transform. In this paper we also analyze H.264 compression pattern and its effects on watermarking. After restoring the damaged watermark sequence using various filters, the algorithm extracts the embedded watermark. The proposed algorithm can achieve robust watermark extraction against H.264 compressed videos.Keywords
