Abstract
In an embodiment, a method of decoding a watermarked video includes receiving a video including a watermark and three or more pilot signals. The method includes attempting to detect the watermark and retrieve a corresponding message in the video based on one or more decoding starting points of the video. The method includes outputting the message if the attempt is successful. If the attempt fails, the method includes detecting the pilot signals in the video; based on the detected pilot signals, estimating a geometric distortion of the video; inverting the geometric distortion for the video to generate a warped video; and attempting to detect the watermark and retrieve the corresponding message in the warped video based on one or more decoding starting points of the warped video.
