Abstract
A method for watermarking of video content is provided. An averaged scene image is computed for each scene of video content by performing averaging of frames present in each scene of video content. For each averaged scene image a set of random numbers are generated using a secret key to identify pixels at random locations of the averaged scene image. The secret key is associated with a watermark pattern corresponding to each averaged scene image. The identified pixels in each averaged scene image are mapped to each pixel of corresponding watermark pattern to obtain respective mapped pixels. Using respective mapped pixels, values of verification information are fetched and assigned using predetermined rules. The values of verification information are arranged to obtain first visual cryptographic share of watermark pattern for each averaged scene image.
