    摘要: The invention relates to a system for re-encoding bitstreams for content signals. A re-encoder (101) receives a bit-stream comprising e.g. an MPEG-2 encoded signal. The receiver (109) feeds the bitstream to an extraction processor (111) which extracts non-essential information from the bitstream thereby generating a reduced bitstream which is still MPEG-2 compliant. The non-essential information, which specifically may be higher frequency transform coefficients, is re-encoded in a re-encode processor (113) using a non-MPEG-2 encoding principle. The encoding may be optimised for the characteristics of the non-essential information resulting in a more efficient encoding. The re-encoded data is inserted in user data section of the reduced bit stream by a combine processor (115). Thus, an effective reduction in the size of the bitstream may be achieved. A decoder (107) may extract the re-encoded data from the user data section, regenerate the original non-essential information and insert this in the reduced bitstream. Specifically, the original bitstream may be regenerated. The approach may specifically be used for reversible bitstream watermarking that which does not increase the size of the bitstream.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods, devices, a media signal and a recorded medium for watermarks embedded in the sub-band domain of compressed media. Watermarks (w[n]) are embedded into the sub-band signals (xi−1[n], xi[n], xi+1[n]) of at least one selected sub-band of a compressed bit-stream (bk) using a watermark inserting unit (18). In this way there is no need to fully decode and re-encode the media signal for embedding the watermark. The watermark is embedded in selected sub-bands (e.g. sub-bands 7-15 of 32). In a preferred embodiment, the selected sub-bands are upsampled before embedding and downsampled therafter to avoid aliasing. The invention also allows embedding multiple watermarks in different sub-bands (e.g. one watermark in sub-bands 7-11, and a different watermark in sub-bands 12-16).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a methods, devices, a media signal as well as an information storage medium related to embedding additional data in a media signal. A first adding unit (12) mixes the media signal (x) with a noise signal (n) in order to provide a modified media signal (x+n), and a combiner unit (14) combines additional data (w) with the modified media signal (x+n) through multiplying the modified media signal with the additional data in order to provide a host modifying media signal (mw). In this way the additional data can be detected with a higher certainty in an output signal (y) if the media signal (x) includes few frequency components.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods, devices and a signal related to simplifying the embedding of watermarks in different copies of a media signal (x). The watermarking process is split into two parts, one that is based on signal dependent properties and one that is based on watermark specific properties. The signal dependent properties are determined in advance, while the watermark specific properties are determined at the time of delivery of the media signal. The signal dependent watermarking properties (p) of a media signal (x) are determined in a properties determining unit (14) and stored in a signal properties store (16), such that the signal dependent properties can be used for embedding more than one watermark (WA, WB, WC) in different copies of the media signal. In this way it is possible to embed watermarks in multiple copies of the same media signal with small time delays.

    摘要: Fingerprinting is a technique to identify multimedia signals by extracting robust perceptual features of the signal contents and searching the extracted features in a database where titles, artists, etc. are stored. Watermarking is a technique of embedding payload data in a signal in an unobtrusive manner. The invention combines both techniques. A fingerprint (M(i)) is extracted (1) from a host signal (x) and stored in a database (5). A watermark (w(i)) is embedded (2) in the host signal by modifying (21) the signal, such that the fingerprint (M′(i)) of the modified signal (x′) differs slightly from the original fingerprint. The difference is so small that the database considers them to be similar. At the receiver end, the fingerprint is extracted (3) from the watermarked signal and applied to the database, which responds by returning the original fingerprint of the signal. The embedded watermark is retrieved by subtracting (4) the original fingerprint supplied by the database from the fingerprint extracted from the host signal.

    摘要: A method for configuring a biometric template protected authentication system wherein the desired classification threshold is first selected to optimize the trade-off between a false accept (FAR) and a false non match or reject rate (FRR) of the system, and then an error correcting code (ECC) used in the authentication process is chosen such that the number of errors which can be corrected is equal to or greater than the selected classification threshold. During authentication, the number of errors in a first codeword derived from biometric data associated with a physical object is determined and used in the decision process to accept or reject authentication.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of authentication of a physical object and an apparatus applying said method. The method uses a helper data (W1) and a control value (V1) associated with a reference object to generate a first property set (C1) using the helper data (W1) and a metric (Y) associated with the physical object. It further comprises a step to generate a second property set (S1) using a noise compensating mapping (NCM) on the first property set (C1), as well as a step to establish a sufficient match between the physical object and the reference object using the second property set (S1) and the first control value (V1). The method is characterized by a step that generates an error measure (ERR) by quantifying the noise removed by the noise compensating mapping (NCM) using the first property set (C1) and information derived from the noise compensating mapping (NCM). Error measure (ERR) is subsequently used for generating an authentication decision (D). Also provided is an apparatus configured to carry out the method.
