Abstract
In this paper, the authors proposed the digital audio watermarking algorithm for a high quality audio. Today, the digital watermark is used to confirm to the digital copyright protection, not only the digital image but the digital audio study is an activeness in the digital watermarking area. Especially, the watermark insertion in the digital audio area affects deeply not only a robustness but the audio quality of the watermarked audio data. Generally, the audio watermark is inserted in the frequence domain after FFT, the quality of audio data is affected by the watermark insertion. Thus, a high quality audio to be maintained at the same time, the study related a inserting of the robustness watermark happened to a hot issue. In this paper, the authors proposed the digital audio watermarking algorithm using psychoacoustic model and MDCT/IMDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform/Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform). In the proposed scheme, the authors experimented the stereo audio file with 44.1KHz, and 128kbps for the audio watermarking algorithm proposed. When the audio data is processed by MDCT, the watermark is able to insert into the frequence domain with 256, 1024 and 2048 interval. In case of 50㎳ RMS window, it was confirmed that the difference between the original audio data and the watermarked audio data of RMS power is 0.8㏈.
