    摘要: The disclosure details methods of measuring the quality of service of received media signals by analyzing digital watermarks embedded in such signals. The quality of a received video or audio signal can thereby be assessed without having the original version of the signal before transmission. Instead, the strength or quality of the embedded digital watermark is analyzed to determine the quality of the received signal. The degradation of a watermark signal is used to assess quality of service of signals, such as audio and video.

    摘要: A reversible watermarking method embeds auxiliary data into a data set, such as an image, audio, video or other data, in a manner that enables full recovery of the original, un-modified data set. This method may be used to determine whether the data set has been tampered. To improve embedding capacity without the need for compression of the auxiliary data, the method uses an expansion technique. One particular approach exploits the correlation or redundancy within the data set to convert the data to a set of small, expandable values, such as difference values. These small values are then expanded by inserting auxiliary data as one or more additional bits, increasing the number of bits without causing an underflow or overflow. This approach also uses a property of the data set that is invariant to the embedding operation to identify embedding locations, obviating the need for separate data to identify where data is embedded in a data set.

    摘要: A method of authenticating a media signal and related software, systems and applications. The method transforms at least a portion of the media signal into a set of frequency coefficients in a frequency domain. For example, it applies a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) or other frequency transform to blocks of a media signal, such as an image, audio or video signal. It adjusts a relationship between selected frequency coefficients to a reference value. This adjustment is selected so that an alteration to be detected, such as a re-sampling operation or digital to analog—analog to digital conversion, alters the relationship. To detect the alteration, a detector computes the relationship in a potentially corrupted version of the signal. It then compares the result with a threshold value to detect whether the alteration has occurred.

    摘要: Reversible watermarking methods enable auxiliary data to be embedded in data sets, such as images, audio, video and software. The reversible nature of the method enables the original data set to be perfectly restored. Control systems with feedback loops are used to optimize embedding based on distortion or auxiliary data capacity constraints. The watermarking may be applied recursively to embed several layers, where subsequent layers are embedded into a previously watermarked data set. To recover the original data, each layer is extracted and the data restored in reverse order of the embedding. Sets of elements that are expanded to carry auxiliary data in each layer overlap or are interleaved to maximize embedding capacity or quality of the host data.

    摘要: A watermark embedder decomposes a media signal from its perceptual domain to subbands and embeds a message signal in the edge information of neighboring coefficients of those subbands. A compatible watermark decoder decomposes the watermarked signal into subbands and demodulates the message signal from the edge information of neighboring coefficients. In addition to the message signal, the embedder may also encode an orientation signal to synchronize the decoder with the embedded signal in a distorted version of the watermarked signal. The watermark system may be used in a variety of applications, including robustly carrying metadata or links to metadata, and to detect alterations of the watermarked signal, such as alterations due to printing, scanning, compression, etc.
