Abstract: Video watermarking is relatively an innovative tool that has been proposed to solve the problem of illegal manipulation and sharing of digital video. It is the process of embedding copyright information into video watermarking. In this paper, artificial bee colony algorithm is utilised for finding the frame and location for embedding the grey-scale image into video watermarking and then searches a scene and location into which a particular part of watermarking is best to embed. The number of shot frames and locations is identified using ABC algorithm. Once the best frame and locations are identified, the embedding and extraction procedure is carried out. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analysed with the existing technique using PSNR and NC. This technique is tested against different attacks and the results obtained are encouraging.

Keywords: digital video watermarking; discrete wavelet transform; artificial bee colony; ABC; peak signal to noise ratio; normalised correlation.
