Robust and efficient digital audio watermarking using audio content analysis

Means of Integrating Audio Content Analysis Algorithms

Two generic mechanisms are proposed that facilitate the efficient integration of audio content analysis algorithms. The first mechanism, priorityrule based interleaving of algorithms, allows the simultaneous interoperation of several bottom-up analysis modules by interleaving their atomic steps. It aims at increased accuracy through controlled manipulation of common data. The second mechanism, ...

Analysis of Musical Content in Digital Audio

Automatic analysis of digital audio with musical content is a difficult — but important — task for various applications in computer music, audio compression, and music information retrieval. This chapter contains a brief review of audio analysis as it relates to music, followed by three case studies of recently developed systems which analyse specific aspects of music. The first system is BeatR...

Audio-Visual Content Analysis for Content-Based Video Indexing

An audio-visual content analysis method is presented, which analyzes both auditory and visual information sources and accounts for their inter-relations and coincidence to extract high-level semantic information. Both shotbased and object-based access to the visual information is employed. Due to the temporal nature of video, time has to be accounted for. Thus, time-constrained video labelling ...
