Non-redundant shift-invariant complex wavelet transform and fractional gorilla troops optimization-based deep convolutional neural network for video watermarking
Abstract
With the development of multimedia processing approaches along with the Internet leads to various issues, like data tampering, data piracy, and illicit dissemination. The quick progression of fast communication networks for digital video transmission has formulated the prerequisite copyright protection for these media. On the other hand, the development of Internet technologies has directed the accessibility of images, audio, and videos in different structures. Moreover, unlicensed users manipulate the utilization of multimedia by broadcasting them on numerous internet sites to get money fraudulently without the involvement of the original copyright holder. Besides, watermarking is a process utilized to hide the watermark sign present in the multimedia statistics that are not perceptible to an intruder for manipulating any information. This paper devised a novel video watermarking technique which uses an optimized deep learning technique. Here, the binary pixel map generation is performed using DCNN for self-embedding in input video. In addition, weights as well as bias of DCNN are trained by designed Fractional Gorilla Troops Optimization-Deep Convolutional Neural Network algorithm, thus FGTO_DCNN algorithm is developed. Accordingly, the FGTO technique is newly introduced by integrating FC along with GTO algorithm. Moreover, non-redundant Shift Invariant Complex Wavelet Transform (SICWT) is employed for extracted key frame and thus watermark image is fed into embedding process. After that, inverse non-redundant SICWT is applied for embedding video, which is further passed to key frame extraction in extraction stage. Finally, non-redundant SICWT is utilized for obtaining extracted watermark image. The developed FGTO-driven DCNN model attained improved performance than other existing video watermarking techniques with Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.0437, Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCC) of 0.9998, high Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of 51.93 dB, and high Weighted Signal-to-Noise Ratio (WSNR) of 49.86 dB.
