Lossless Audio Watermarking Based on the Alpha Statistic Modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a high capacity, self-synchronized, lossless audio watermarking algorithm based on the alpha (‘α’) statistic modulation. Here ‘α’ is related to the correlation among any given sequence i.e audio samples and it is modulated according to the watermark bit stream. The embedding scheme is tested in both the time domain and DWT domain. Though the time domain embedding reduces the computational time in searching the synchronization codes, the time-frequency localization capability of DWT provides good trade off between the computational complexity and robustness of synchronization codes. In case of DWT, ‘α’ related to the 2 nd level DWT coarse wavelet components is used for embedding the watermark. The offset value used for embedding is made adaptive to the required SNR for the final watermarked audio signal. After extraction of the embedded watermark using a watermark key, original audio can be recovered with minimal distortion. The watermarking method presented here does not require the use of the original signal for watermark detection. Also high embedding capacity is achieved by using small sized audio frames. Experimental results reveal that the proposed watermarking scheme maintains high audio quality and is simultaneously highly robust to pirate attacks, including MP3 compression, cropping, filtering, re-sampling, and re-quantization.

A Scalable Watermarking Scheme for the Scalable Audio
—In this paper, we describe a scalable (i.e., lossless-to-lossy) watermarking scheme which overcomes the problem of non-invertible distortion introduced by the watermark signal. The scheme is based on a standardized scalable audio coder [9] – as a result, the embedded watermark inherits the scalability of the audio coder. We elaborate how the scalability can be used to realize the recovery of t...
متن کاملDifferent Digital Watermarking Techniques for Secure Data Transmission
Watermarking is a technique for labelling digital pictures by hiding secret information in the images. A digital watermark is a kind of marker covertly embedded in a noise tolerant signalsuch as audio or image data. It is typically used to identify ownership of the copyright of such signal. An original image is decomposed into wavelet coefficients. Then, multi-energy watermarking scheme based o...

متن کاملCopyright Protection using Digital Watermarking
One way for copyright protection is digital watermarking. Digital watermarking is the process of embedding information regarding the authenticity or the identity of the owners into a image or any piece of data. Digital watermarking has been classified into two types :Visible and Invisible Watermarking. In visible digital watermarking, the embedded information is visible. Typically, the informat...
