    摘要: The invention relates to watermarking systems, which irregularly change the embedded watermark so as to avoid hacking the system by averaging-attacks. In averaging attacks, segments of the watermarked signal are accumulated. This causes the host signal to be cancelled out whereas the embedded watermark accumulates coherently. A watermark A thus determined is then subtracted by a hacker from the watermarked signal. This invention exploits the insight that the hacker does not know when the embedded watermark changes (from A to B, or from A to none). Accordingly, fragments of the hacked signal will contain the negative watermark—A being unintentionally embedded by the hacker. This causes the watermark detector to produce a correlation peak of opposite polarity. The invention resides in the detection of such a negative peak, and concluding therefrom that the signal has been tampered. The payload of the watermark is preserved. This provides the possibility to trace back the hacker.

    摘要: A method of processing an information signal comprising: applying a signal modification process to an information signal resulting in a processed signal, said signal modification process being controlled by at least one control parameter; comparing the processed signal with the information signal to determine a measure of perceptual quality of the processed signal; and adjusting said at least one control parameter in response to the determined measure of perceptual quality. The method is advantageously used in watermarking and compression systems, that use a model of the Human Auditory or Visual System to control the watermark embedding depth or the compression ratio, and that often fail to maintain a constant signal quality because they ignore other artifacts than the mask-to-noise ratio.

    摘要: Identification of a digital media sequence is performed by an encoding and a decoding process. A sequence is received and its digital fingerprint is computed. A database lookup based on the fingerprint produces one or more matches that all resemble the computed fingerprint to a certain degree. If there is more than one match, at least one attempt is made to detect a watermark in the sequence. If a watermark is found, at least part of the watermark is extracted and used to select one of the matches among the sequences that resemble the media sequence to be identified.

    摘要: In order to enable a data signal, such as an audio or video signal, to be marked with multiple watermarks a set of different codes or keys is used within a given application field. The set of codes/keys is known to a watermark embedder (20) and a watermark detector (22). In each watermark embedding step, whether it is a first embedding step or a subsequent embedding step, a different key is used. The embedder (22) includes a data extractor (24) for determining which key or keys has or have been used previously. A data generator (26) then selects a new key from the set of known keys.

    摘要: There is provided a watermark detector (20) including an input for receiving an input signal (Y′) including watermark content (W) to be searched. A first processor (40) of the detector (20) is operable to analyse portions (100, 110, 120) of the signal (Y′) to identify corresponding sets of characteristic properties or fingerprints (P1 to Pq) and associated temporal descriptors (d1 to dq). A communication link to a database (50) is provided for communicating the fingerprints to the database (50) to identify the signal and to determine corresponding temporal descriptors (MT1 to MTq) corresponding to the portions (100, 110, 120) in the original signal. A second processor (220) is included for calculating from a difference between the temporal descriptors (d1 to dq) and the retrieved temporal descriptors (MT1 to MTq) a scaling factor to which the input signal (Y′) has been subjected. The scaling factor is useable for re-scaling the signal and extracting the watermark from the rescaled signal (Y′).
