Abstract—In information hiding communication system, quantization-based video watermarking schemes are widely used. However, these approaches exist in some drawbacks due to the robustness while embedding the hidden information in spread spectrum (SS) solutions. On other hand, the additional hidden information (watermark) may often be that the distortion for the transform domain coefficients is large enough so as to make the retrieval of the hidden data impossible. In order to solve the problems, in this paper, we present a compressive sensing (CS) based watermarking communication scheme able to hide digital fingerprint images for privacy protection. We discuss the way of using CS on the host signal for watermarking communication purpose. The extensive experiments have shown that the proposed method can effectively obtain a video watermarking scheme in CS domain with interesting properties for protection the hidden fingerprint images, and achieve the best trade-off between robustness and statistical invisibility.
