The rapid dissemination of media technologies has lead to an increase of unauthorized copying and distribution
of digital media. Digital watermarking, i.e. embedding information in the multimedia signal in a robust and
imperceptible manner, can tackle this problem. Recently, there has been a huge growth in the number of
different terminals and connections that can be used to consume multimedia. To tackle the resulting distribution
challenges, scalable coding is often employed. Scalable coding allows the adaptation of a single bit-stream to
varying terminal and transmission characteristics. As a result of this evolution, watermarking techniques that
are robust against scalable compression become essential in order to control illegal copying. In this paper, a
watermarking technique resilient against scalable video compression using the state-of-the-art H.264/SVC codec
is therefore proposed and evaluated.
