This paper presents a blind watermark detection scheme for an additive watermark embedding model. The proposed estimation-correlation-based watermark detector first estimates the embedded watermark by exploiting non-Gaussian of the real-world audio signal and the mutual independence between the host-signal and the embedded watermark and then a correlation-based detector is used to determine the presence or the absence of the watermark. For watermark estimation, blind source separation (BSS) based on independent component analysis (ICA) is used. Low watermark-to-signal ratio (WSR) is one of the limitations of blind detection with the additive embedding model. The proposed detector uses two-stage processing to improve the WSR at the blind detector; the first stage removes the audio spectrum from the watermarked audio signal using linear predictive (LP) filtering and the second stage uses the resulting residue from the LP filtering stage to estimate the embedded watermark using BSS based on ICA. Simulation results show that the proposed detector performs significantly better than existing estimation-correlationbased detection schemes.

In this paper, a new digital audio watermarking algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm embeds watermark into audio signal based on human auditory system (HAS). This algorithm is a blind audio watermarking method, which does not require any prior information during watermark extraction process. This algorithm finds watermarking position using time-domain masking effect. First we insert the watermark into wavelet domain, and then we use a back-propagation neural network (BPN) to learn the characteristics of relationship between the watermark and the watermarked audio. Due to the teaming and adaptive capabilities of the BPN, the false recovery of the watermark can be greatly reduced by the trained BPN. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good inaudibility and high robustness to common audio processing attacks.

In this paper, we propose a new digital audio watermarking technique with the wavelet transform. The watermark is embedded by eliminating unnecessary information of audio signal based on human auditory system (HAS). This algorithm is an audio watermarking method, which does not require any original audio information in watermark extraction process. In this paper, the masking effect is used for audio watermarking, that is, post-tempera] masking effect. We construct the window with the synchronization signal and we extract the best frame in the window by using the zero-crossing rate (ZCR) and the energy of the audio signal. The watermark may be extracted by using the correlation of the watermark signal and the portion of the frame. Experimental results show good robustness against MPEG1-layer3 compression and other common signal processing manipulations. All the attacks are made after the D/A/D conversion.

본 논문에서는 고음질을 위한 디지털 오디오 워터마킹(watermarking) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 오늘날 디지털 저작물을 확인하는데 디지털 워터마크(digital watermark)가 쓰이고 있으며, 영상뿐만 아니라 디지털 오디오 분야도 연구가 활발하다. 특히, 디지털 오디오 분야에서의 워터마크 삽입은 워터마크의 강인성뿐만 아니라 워터마킹된 오디오 데이터 자체의 음질에 상당한 영향을 주게 된다. 오디오 워터마크는 일반적으로 FFT 변환 후 주파수 영역에 워터마크를 삽입하는데, 이때 워터마크 삽입 영향으로 오디오 데이터 음질에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 오디오의 고음질을 유지하면서 강인한 워터마크를 삽입하는 연구가 큰 문제로 대두되었다. 논문에서는 심리음향 모델(Psychoacoustic model) 및 MDCT/IMDCT(Modified Discrete Cosine Transform/Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform)를 사용한 고음질 오디오 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 논문에서, 오디오 워터마킹 알고리즘을 위하여 44.1㎑, 128Kbps, 스테레오 오디오 파일을 이용하였다. 오디오 데이터가 MDCT를 통해 주파수 변환하는 과정에서 256, 1024, 2048 포인트 간격으로 워터마크를 삽입할 수 있다. 50㎳의 RMS 윈도우를 사용했을 때 원 오디오 데이터와 워터마킹 된 오디오 데이터의 전체 RMS 파워의 차이는 0.8㏈이다.

In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm for high quality audio. Nowadays, digital watermark used to confirm to digital copyright protection, not only digital image but also digital audio is active in the digital watermarking study.

The rapid development of digital media and communication network urgently brings about the need of data certification technology to protect IPR (Intellectual property right). This paper proposed a new watermarking method for embedding contents owner's audio signal in order to protect color image IPR. Since this method evolves the existing static model and embeds audio signal of big data, it has the advantage of restoring signal transformed due to attacks. Three basic stages of watermarking include: 1) Encode analogue ID owner's audio signal using PCM and create new 3D audio watermark; 2) Interleave 3D audio watermark by linear bit expansion and 3) Transform Y signal of color image into wavelet and embed interleaved audio watermark in the low frequency band on the transform domain. The results demonstrated that the audio signal embedding in color image proposed in this paper enhanced robustness against lossy JPEG compression, standard image compression and image cropping and rotation which remove a part of image.

In this paper, we propose the audio watermarking algorithm based on the critical band of HAS(human auditory system) without audibly affecting the quality of the watermarked audio and implement the detecting algorithm on the BSS(broadcast synchronizing system) for testing the proposed algorithm. According to the audio quality test, the SNR(signal to noise ratio) of the watermarked audio objectively is 66dB above. In the robustness test, the proposed algorithm can detect the watermark more than $90\%$ from various compression(MP3, AAC), A/D and D/A conversions, sampling rate conversions and especially asynchronizing attacks. The BSS automatically switches the programs between the key station and the local station in broadcasting system. The result of reliability test of implemented system by using the real broadcasting audio has no false positive error during 30 days. Because of detecting once processing per 0.5 second, we can judge that the false positive error does not occur.

In this paper, we proposed the high quality digital audio watermarking algorithm in the frequency domain. The spread spectrum technique is used to encrypted a stream of information by spreading the data as much of the frequency spectrum as possible. It's technique adapt well to data hiding in audio signal. We have used the perceptual model and MDCT/IMDCT for the high qualify digital audio watermarking. The proposed watermark algorithm preserved high quality audio data from watermark signal.
