Abstract:

In this work, we propose different algorithms to approximate an original watermarked document, primarily a movie represented with a sequence of matrices. We consider the case of a collusion attack when a number of watermarked copies are available. We use the Bootstrap to construct point-wise confidence intervals for each matrix, represented via their discrete cosine transforms. We demonstrate, by way of an extensive simulation that in addition to stellar probabilistic coverage, Bootstrap machinery is highly efficient when the number of Bootstrap iterations, the sample size and the number of watermarked copies are of interest. Most importantly, the results suggest that the precision of our probabilistic methodology increases quickly when the number of watermarked copies are increased.
