As an effective method for copyright protection and content integrity verification of intellectual property, digital watermarking has become a very active area in the field of multimedia security. We propose a watermarking scheme of H.264 based on Watson’s human visual system. A 4x4 DCT mask combining Watson’s human visual system on DCT will be designed. Using the mask, a spread spectrum watermarking scheme is given to embed the watermark on AC coefficients of 4x4 DCT blocks. And it provides a way to classify 4x4 DCT blocks into edge, textured, or smooth-blocks, and it also is a reference for watermark embedding strength. We also propose a method to resist the frame dropping, reversing, duplicating attacks.
