With the quick development of communication technology, digital video has become an indispensable media content for people’s daily life and entertainment, and its copyright protection has also turned into a vital research topic. The digital video watermarking is expected to become a technology that can solve the problem of digital video network infringement. Based on various embedding positions, the digital video watermarking algorithm includes two major categories: the compressed videobased and original video-based watermarking algorithm. The latter has stronger versatility than the former, hence, in this paper, we mainly focus on the survey of the original video-based watermarking algorithm.
