    摘要: A method of embedding sound field control factors (SFC factors) into a sound source. The method includes coding sound field factors and sound field information to obtain sound field control factors for the sound source in a binary data type, and the sound field factors represent an acoustic characteristic of the sound source and the sound field information represents an environment under which the sound source is decoded, and watermarking the sound field control factors into the sound source without compressing the sound source. In this method, the SFC factors that represent characteristics of the sound source are embedded into the sound source itself using a digital watermarking technology. Therefore, the SFC factors need not be manually set by a user. In addition, the SFC factors can be reliably transmitted, irrespective of header corruption caused by format conversion and transmission of a compressed sound source.

    摘要: A watermark encoding system encodes an audio signal with both a strong and a weak watermark. The strong watermark identifies the content producer and is designed to survive all typical kinds of processing and malicious attacks. The weak watermark identifies the content as an original and is designed to be significantly removed as a result of most normal signal processing (other than A/D and D/A). The watermark encoding system has a converter to convert an audio signal into frequency and phase components and a mask processor to determine a hearing threshold for corresponding frequency components. The watermark encoding system also has a pattern generator to generate both the strong and weak watermarks and a watermark insertion unit to selectively insert either the strong or weak watermark into the audio signal. The watermark insertion unit adds the strong watermark to the audio signal when the signal exceeds the hearing threshold by a buffer value (e.g., 1-8 dB) and adds the weak watermark insertion unit when the signal falls below the hearing threshold by the buffer value. When the signal falls within the buffer area about the hearing threshold, the insertion unit takes no action. A watermark detecting system is equipped with a watermark detector that determines which block interval of the watermarked audio signal contains a watermark pattern and if the strong or weak watermark is present in that block interval of the signal.

    摘要: Information signals such as grayscale images or audio signals are represented as a sequence of PCM signal samples. To embed auxiliary data in the least significant bits of the signal, the samples are slightly distorted. There is a so-termed “rate-distortion function” (20) which gives the largest embedding rate R given a certain distortion level D. It appears that the efficiency of prior art embedding schemes such as LSB replacement (21,22) can be improved. The invention discloses such embedding schemes (23,24). According to the invention, the signal is divided into groups of L (L>1) signal samples (x). For each group of signal samples, a vector of least significant portions (x mod n) of the signal samples is created. For n=2, the vector comprises the least significant bit of each signal sample. The syndrome of said vector (as defined in the field of error detection and correction) represents the embedded data. Only one (or a few, in any case less than L) signal sample(s) of a group needs to be modified so as to achieve that the vector assumes a desired syndrome value.

    摘要: A method of generating a watermark signal, embedding the watermark signal within a multimedia signal, and subsequently detecting the watermark signal is described. The watermark signal is the sum of two sequences of values, the second sequence of values being a circularly shifted version of the first sequence.
