Impact of content mastering on the throughput of a bit stream video watermarking system
Antoine Robert, Gwenaël Doërr · 2013
Video watermarking systems operating directly in the compressed bit stream are receiving increasing interest due to their ease of integration into existing content delivery workflows. Such algorithms, however, usually involve a strong dependency to the underlying video codec. In other words, the throughput of the system, e.g. the embedding rate, is heavily tied to the input bit stream. In this paper, we consider a watermarking system for H.264/AVC CABAC and study its throughput depending on the content mastering process. More precisely, we explore the influence of the compression ratio, the resolution, and some encoding parameters.
