Psychoacoustic Auditory Model and Spread Spectrum Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
A new algorithm for embedding a digital watermark into an audio signal is proposed. It uses spread spectrum theory to generate a watermark resistant to different removal attempts and a psychoacoustic auditory model to shape and embed the watermark into the audio signal while retaining the signal’s perceptual quality. Recovery is performed without knowledge of the original audio signal. A software system is implemented and tested for perceptual transparency and data-recovery performance.

Digital Audio Watermarking using Frequency Masking Technique
There is a need of an effective watermarking technique for copyright protection and authentication of intellectual Property [12]. In this work we propose a digital watermarking technique which makes use of simultaneous frequency masking to hide the watermark information into host. The algorithm is based on Psychoacoustic Auditory Model and Spread Spectrum theory [2]. It generates a watermark si...
متن کاملImproved audio coding using a psychoacoustic model based on a cochlear filter bank
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is derived from a psychoacoustic model mimicking the properties of masking. Most psychoacoustic models for coding applications use a uniform (equal bandwidth) spectral decomposition as a first step to approximate the freq...

The symptoms of two patients with bilateral cortical auditory lesions evolved from cortical deafness to other auditory syndromes: generalised auditory agnosia, amusia and/or pure word deafness, and a residual impairment of temporal sequencing. On investigation, both had dysacusis, absent middle latency evoked responses, acoustic errors in sound recognition and matching, inconsistent auditory be...
متن کاملPsychoacoustic Abilities as Predictors of Vocal Emotion Recognition in Autism
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) show deficiencies in prosodic abilities, both pragmatic and affective. Their deficiencies in affective prosody have been mostly related to cognitive difficulties in emotion recognition. The current study tested an alternative hypothesis, linking vocal emotion recognition difficulties in ASD to lower level auditory perceptual deficiencies. Twenty ...
متن کاملPsychoacoustic Characteristics of Tinnitus in Individuals with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
The study aimed at understanding the psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). It attempts to assess the pitch and intensity of loudness of tinnitus matched by individuals with ANSD. Fifty individuals who were diagnosed as having auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder were included in the study. Tinnitus evaluation was carried ou...
