    摘要: Method and apparatus are described for compensating for time offset in a received signal, so as to correctly align the frame sequence of a received signal to a sequence of transmitted symbols. Each symbol extends over Ts signal samples. The received signal is first divided into a sequence of frames of length Ts, and then each framedivided into a multiplicity of Nb sub-frames. Subsequently, Nb sequences of values are formed, where every successive value in each sequence is derived from the corresponding sub-frame within each successive frame. Each of the Nb sequences is an estimate for the correctly aligned sequence of transmitted symbols.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method, device (12) and computer program product for enabling detection of additional data embedded in a media signal that may have been subjected to scaling. The invention also relates to an additional data detecting device (10) comprising such a device for enabling detection. An envelope discriminating unit (ED) provides a first extracted narrow band envelope signal sample (we[n]) from an input media signal sample (yb[n]), and a variable scale down sampling unit (VSDS) down samples the narrow band envelope signal sample using a down sampling rate that is dependent on a scaling factor variable value (η) for providing at least one sample of a first additional data estimate (wn[k]) in order to allow the detection of additional data in said signal sample.

    摘要: A playlist of content items, e.g. songs, is automatically generated in which content items having features similar to features of a seed content item are selected. At least one feature of the seed content item is compared with at least one feature of each candidate content item to identify specific ones of the candidate content items that are similar to the seed content item. The identified candidate content items are then added to the playlist. Multiple features represent (e.g. are extracted from) different parts of a plurality of candidate content items and/or multiple features of the seed content item represent (e.g. are extracted from) different parts of the seed content item. The multiple features of the seed content item and/or of the candidate content items are compared with at least one feature of the seed content item or of the candidate content items.

    摘要: The invention deals with matching of a watermark to a host sampling rate of a multimedia signal. A watermark sampled at a first sampling rate is matched to multimedia host signal sampled at a second sampling rate, in a process where the watermark sampled at the first sampling rate is received, a scaling factor between the first sampling rate and the second sampling rate is determined, and re-scale widths of the watermark symbols are set. A modified watermark is generated wherein the watermark symbols of the modified watermark being of re-scale widths, so as to substantially match the modified watermark sequences to the second sampling rate.

    摘要: A basic idea of the present invention is to selectively employ one of at least two different feature extraction processes when generating a biometric template of an individual. An individual offers a physiological property, such as a fingerprint, an iris, an ear, a face, etc., from which biometric data can be derived, to a sensor of an enrolment authority. In the following, the property to be discussed will be fingerprints, even though any suitable biometric property may be used. From the fingerprint, a positional reference point of the biometric data is derived. The derivation of the positional reference point may be accomplished using any appropriate method out of a number of known methods. Such a reference point could be the location of a core, a delta, a weighted average of minutiae coordinates, or alike. Typically, the reference point includes a core of a fingerprint expressed as a three-dimensional coordinate denoted by means of xr, yr, and angle αr. A contribution indicator is calculated for the derived positional reference point, and it is determined whether the derived positional reference point can be considered reliable. Depending on the reliability of the derived reference point, one of the two different feature extraction processes is selected; either the first feature set is extracted using a method which is invariant of the derived reference point, or a method is used taking into account the derived reference point. The better the estimation of the reference point is, the more reliable the reference point-dependent extraction method is. Finally, the biometric template is generated using the extracted first feature set.

    摘要: In watermarking systems, hackers may try to remove the watermark using a so-called collusion attack. If the attacker has access to multiple identical signals with different watermarks (this typically occurs in electronic content delivery systems), simply averaging the signals will remove the watermark energy. A known solution to this problem is phase modulation. By modulating the phase of the signals, the averaging attack will cause phase cancellation to occur and annoying artifacts to be introduced. In the prior art, said phase modulation is carried out in the base-band domain, prior to watermark embedding. The present invention enables phase modification efficiently to be applied to transform coded signals, in particular DCT or MDCT coded signals such as MP3 or AAC audio signals, or MPEG2 video signals. The bitstream is partially decoded (4) and re-encoded (7). In accordance with the invention, the phase modification is now performed by an appropriately modified version of the forward or inverse (M)DCT transform algorithm (9). The phase modulation is thus an integral part of the decoding process (before watermark embedding) or the encoding process (after watermark embedding), which is very efficient. The phase modulation is controlled by parameters provided by a control function (5).

    摘要: A system and a method of effectively detecting watermarks in a significant amount of data signals. The method, in overview, consists in pre-filtering the significant amount of data signals in order to eliminate from the final watermark detection the segments of the data signals which have no significant relevance to the owner of the copyrights of the watermark under investigation, and then performing the actual watermark detection over the remaining segments of data signals relevant to the investigation. The pre-filtering feature being implemented by a definition of one or more goal descriptors, extraction of one or more descriptors from the data signals and its content and a comparison between goal descriptors and extracted descriptors.

    摘要: Method and apparatus are described for compensating for a linear time scale change in a received signal, so as to correctly rescale the frame sequence of the received signal. Firstly, an initial estimate of the sequence of symbols is extracted from the received signal. Successive estimates of correctly time scaled sequences of the symbols are then generated by interpolating the values of the initial estimates.
