    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and systems for encoding a digital watermark into and/or detecting a digital watermark from a host (or media) signal such as audio, video or imagery. One implementation involves a method of detecting a digital watermark. The method includes: receiving a host signal carrying a digital watermark; computing attributes of the host signal; using the attributes of the host signal to compute a key; and using the key to detect the digital watermark in a transform domain dependent on the key. Other methods, systems and apparatus are provided as well.

    Abstract: A digital watermark is generated with radial and circumferential symmetries in a particular domain of a host signal into which it is embedded. These symmetries enable a detector to compute the projective transformation and rotation angle of the embedded signal using only the symmetry properties. The embedded signal may be variable, such as being modulated with a variable message payload, yet the scale and rotation of this variable signal is detectable based on its symmetry properties.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a first set of digital data (e.g., an image) is tested for the presence of a certain feature (e.g., a certain face), yielding one of two outcomes (e.g., not-present, or present). If the testing yields the first outcome, no additional testing is performed. If, however, the testing yields the second outcome, further testing is performed to further check this outcome. Such further testing is performed on a second set of digital data that is based on, but different from, the first set of data. Only if the original testing and the further testing both yield the same second outcome is it treated as a valid result. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

    Abstract: A reversible watermarking program transforms a host data file into a logical storage unit for auxiliary data files by embedding the auxiliary files in the data stored in the host data file. The reversible watermark modifies host data such as an image, audio, video, or software code, to carry auxiliary data. For perceptual content such as visual or audio media, the reversible watermark can maintain a desired level of perceptual quality, effectively hiding the auxiliary data in the host data. The reversible watermark enables the original host data prior to modifications due to the embedding to be restored.

    Abstract: Novel methods and systems for quantization based data embedding and reading in host signals, such as image, audio and video signals. To embed auxiliary data in a host signal, an embedder maps the host signal from a first domain into a mapped signal in a second domain. The embedder performs quantization based embedding of auxiliary data into the host signal using quantizers. The quantizers are adapted such that the relationship between corresponding quantizers in the first and second domains satisfies a predetermined constraint. The mapping improves the robustness of the data embedding method by increasing the chances that the embedded data can be recovered by an auxiliary data reader after modifications. A related embedding method projects the mapped signal unto a vector, and specifically, a pseudorandom vector. It performs quantization based embedding on the projected signal. The use of this projection provides added robustness of the embedded data to noise and other forms of distortion.
