Embedding supplemental data in a digital video signal

   
   

An MPEG-encoded video signal includes groups of pictures (GOPs), each GOP having an intraframe coded (I) picture and a series of predictively encoded (P) pictures and bidirectionally predictively encoded (B) pictures. Usually, the GOP structure IBBPBBP . . . is used. However, in order to embed a watermark in the MPEG-encoded video signal, the MPEG encoder is forced to produce a GOP structure which does not normally occur, e.g., a GOP including a BPP sequence. Different symbol values can be assigned to different positions of the BPP sequence in the GOP.

Una señal video MPEG-CODIFICADA incluye grupos de los cuadros (GOPs), cada GOP que tiene (i) un cuadro cifrado intraframe y una serie (p) de cuadros predictively codificados y (b) de cuadros bidireccional predictively codificados. Generalmente, la estructura IBBPBBP de GOP. . . se utiliza. Sin embargo, para encajar una filigrana en la señal video MPEG-CODIFICADA, el codificador del MPEG se fuerza producir una estructura de GOP que no ocurra normalmente, e.g., un GOP incluyendo una secuencia de BPP. Diversos valores del símbolo se pueden asignar a diversas posiciones de la secuencia de BPP en el GOP.
