Conventional CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) system has limitations come from sampling frequency and quantization bit, 44.1kHz and 16 bit respectively. So, new medium is developed for high-resolution audio recording, like as DVD-audio etc. But CDDA is a widely used medium for high fidelity audio yet, because new medium has complexity and difficulty in manufacturing system. In this paper, we design a new encoding system for high-resolution audio signal. The system is backward compatible with conventional CDDA. By evaluation for encoding and decoding process, we describe practicability of our proposal system.

Conventional CDDA(Compact Disc Digital Audio) system has limitation which means that bandwidth and resolution of the sign릴 are determined by the sampling frequency and quantization bit, 44.1kHz and 16 bit respectively. Though, new medium such as DVD-audio is developed for high-resolution audio recording, it has high complexity and difficulty in manufacturing process. So, CDDA is a widely used medium for high fidelity audio yet. In this paper, we design a new encoding system for high-resolution audio signal which has backward compatible with conventional CDDA. By evaluating for the encoding and decoding process. we verify the availability of our proposed system.

We propose an improved algorithm for detecting audio watermarks based on a spread spectrum in the spectral domain. Since the energy of a watermark is much smaller than that of the cover audio data, pre-processing to reduce the effect of the cover data is needed to reliably extract watermarks. We introduce a spectral envelope filter as a pre-process that enhances detecting performance by filtering out the intrinsic spectral character of cover data. The proposed watermarking structure can be easily included in the compression system and can extract watermarks from partially decompressed spectral data. Our experimental results demonstrate that with a bit error rate of around 10 dB against general attacks, the proposed detecting scheme works better than detectors without the spectral filter.

The robustness of audio fingerprinting system in a noisy environment is a principal challenge in the area of content-based audio retrieval. The selected feature for the audio fingerprints must be robust in a noisy environment and the computational complexity of the searching algorithm must be low enough to be executed in real-time. The audio fingerprint proposed by Philips uses expanded hash table lookup to compensate errors introduced by noise. The expanded hash table lookup increases the searching complexity by a factor of 33 times the degree of expansion defined by the hamming distance. We propose a new method to improve noise robustness of audio fingerprinting in noise environment using predominant pitch which reduces the bit error of created hash values. The sub-fingerprint of our approach method is computed in each time frames of audio. The time frame is transformed into the frequency domain using FFT. The obtained audio spectrum is divided into 33 critical bands. Finally, the 32-bit hash value is computed by difference of each bands of energy. And only store bits near predominant pitch. Predominant pitches are extracted in each time frames of audio. The extraction process consists of harmonic enhancement, harmonic summation and selecting a band among critical bands.

본 논문은 컴포트 노이즈(comfort noise)를 이용하는 주파수 밴드선택 음성/오디오 코덱에서 컴포트 노이즈 대신 SBR(Spectral Band Replication) 기술을 이용하여 여기 신호를 대체 함으로서 밴드 선택 광대역 음성/오디오 부호화기의 성능 향상을 목표로 한다. 비 전송 밴드에 SBR 기술로 합성된 신호를 삽입하기 위하여 부밴드 별로 전송된 신호를 활용하며, 각각의 부밴드 별로 에너지 가중치를 설정한다. 백색잡음 성분의 컴포트 노이즈 대신 전송신호에 의존하는 신호를 합성 함으로서 보다 높은 음질의 밴드 선택 부호화기를 제안하였다.

본 논문에서는 오디오 분야에서 가장 대중적인 압축 방식인 MP3 공격에 강인한 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 주파수 도메인에서의 워터마킹 방법인 Cox의 스프레드 스펙트럼 방법에서는 DCT후 값이 큰 저주파수의 계수에 순차적으로 워터마크를 삽입한다. 제안한 방법에서는 MP3 공격시 손실되는 주파수 계수를 통계적으로 조사하여, 손실이 덜한 순서를 정한 후 이에 맞추어 계수에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 음원에 대하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법은 Cox의 방법에 비해 워터마크의 보존하고 원본 음원의 왜곡을 줄이는 두가지 측면 모두 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose the new audio watermarking method and can be used on line processing. Instead of the wavelet transform, we use the integer wavelet transform for the reduction of the computational load. The watermark associated with the chi-square distribution is inserted into the signal on the integer wavelet domain. When extracting the watermark, the spread spectrum methods are used with the coefficients associated with the covariance sequence. We show that the chi-square distribution is a good tool for the spread spectrum method on the wavelet domain. This watermarking technique may be used for the control of the electrical product which can be controlled with the hidden signals and can be moved according to the audible signals simultaneously.

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.

This paper proposes an efficiently representing method of spatial cues on multichannel spatial audio coding. The Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) method introduced recently represents multichannel audio signals by means of Inter Channel Level Difference (ICLD) or Source Index (SI). We tried to express more efficiently ICLD and SI information based on Inter Channel Correlation in this paper. We adopt different spatial cues according to ICC and propose a compensation method of empty spectrums created by using SI. We performed a MOS test and measuring spectral distortion. The results show that the proposed method can reduce the bitrate of side information without large degradation of the audio quality.

In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking technique that accepts time scaling, pitch shift, add noise and a lot of lossy compression such as MP3, AAC, WMA. The technique is developed based on digital filtering. Being designed according to critical band of HAS (human auditory system), the digital filters nearly affect audio quality. Furthermore, before implementing digital filtering, wavelet transform decomposes the audio signal into several signals that is composed of specific frequencies. Designed digital filters scan the decomposed signal. The designed digital filter, band-stop filter, distorts and eliminates specific frequencies of audio signals. Watermarking detection can be accomplished by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). Firstly, segments of audio signal are transformed by FFT. Then, the obtained amplitude spectrum by FFT is summed repeatedly. Finally the watermark detector can find filters used to watermark encoding based on eliminating frequencies. The suggested technique can embed 4bits/s in a robust manner.
