Abstract

Installing video cameras in public facilities for surveillance becomes more and more popular. This paper proposes a novel authentication scheme based on chaotic semi-fragile watermarking. The timing information of video frames is modulated into the parameters of a chaotic system. The system output, which is a noise-like signal, is used as a watermark and embedded into the block-based discrete cosine transform domain. The embedded information is demodulated by a maximum likelihood estimator. Temporal tampering can be detected by the mismatch between the extracted and the observed timing information. In addition, the deviation of the extracted watermark from the original one allows us to locate spatial tampering. It is shown that the proposed scheme can satisfy the peculiar requirements of authenticating a digital video surveillance system.
