Abstract

The use of computer network communication makes information exchange and transmission relatively simple and quick. But with digital image, audio and video products like multimedia, copyright protected security questions will be exposed in such communication environments. Digital watermarks have been recently proposed for authentication of both video and still images. This paper gives a review of a few of the proposed image and video watermarking techniques using neural networks.
