Over Time

Transform-domain digital audio watermarking has a performance advantage over time-domain watermarking by virtue of the fact that frequency  transforms offer better exploitation of the human auditory system (HAS). In this research paper an adaptive audio watermarking is proposed based on the low and high wavelet frequencies band (LF, HF). The embedded watermark can be of any types of signal (text, audio and image). The insertion of the watermark data is performing in a frequency domain after applying discrete wavelet transformation on the cover audio segments. The normalize correlation and the signal to noise ratio metrics are used to test the performance of the proposed method in terms of the robustness and imperceptibility. Test results show that an improvement of the robustness against some type of attacks when the watermark is adaptively embedded in a different wavelet bands.

This paper proposed a digital audio watermarking scheme based on independent component analysis (ICA) in DWT domain. The embedding process make full use of the multi-resolution characteristic of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), performing 3-level DWT.

Then constructing the ICA model to embed the watermarking. The extraction process is similar with ICA’s goal, it’s used in extraction makes the scheme simple for implementation. The experiment results show that the proposed scheme has good robustness against common attacks, as well as transparency.

Internet Revolution

Today, the use of digital data like image, audio and video is tremendously increasing due to the advancement in technology and internet revolution. With this advancement to attain the one’s ownership and copyrights for this digital data is the biggest challenge. Digital watermarking is one of the technique to attain one’s ownership and copyrights with securely. It is the technique in which the owner’s copyright information can be embedded into the original media either in the form of an image, audio, text or video. There are two main factors we need to observe for this digital audio watermarking to maintain the robustness as well as imperceptibility against the piracy, malicious attacks, and various transformation operations. Though there are many challenges to achieve this results, in this paper, our proposed audio watermarking technique is used to improve the robustness, imperceptibility of the embedded information with security. For Security, in our proposed work we are using synchronized secret key concept with DSSS encryption algorithm and two important powerful transformation methods used that are DWT (Discreet Wavelet Transformation) up to 4-level to get lowest frequency sub-band and after that DFT is applied to get lowest frequency from sub-band found by DWT in which the modifications are done and then SVD (Singular value Decomposition)is applied to it, so that original audio file does not have any impact of watermark bits to get the better robustness and imperceptibility.

Communications System

This chapter is a comprehensive presentation of spread spectrum-based digital audio watermarking methods. The problem is viewed as the realization of a basic communications system, where the host signal presents the available channel and the watermark presents the transmitted information that needs to survive and be recovered in conditions that include noise distortion, signal transformation, standard compression, and deliberate attacks. Basic spread spectrum theory as it relates to audio watermarking is introduced followed by state-of-the-art improvements. The important synchronization problem is analyzed in detail, existing techniques are presented and a novel, precise synchronization method is included. Finally, the role of psychoacoustics in effective watermarking is emphasized and an enhanced psychoacoustic model based on the discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT), which ensures efficiency and transparency is included.

This chapter discusses the robustness of digital audio watermarking algorithms against digital to analogue and analogue to digital conversions. This is an important challenge in many audio watermarking applications. We provide an overview on distortions caused by converting the signal in various scenarios. This includes environmental influences like background noise or room acoustics when taking microphone recordings as well as sound sampling effects like quantization noise. The aim is to show the complexity of influences that needto be taken into account. Additionally, we show test results of our own audio watermarking algorithm with respect to analogue recordings using a microphone which proves that a high robustness in this area can be achieved. To improve even the robustness of algorithms, we briefly introduce strategies against downmixing and playback speed changes of the audio signal.

Watermarking Scheme

Now-a-days watermarking plays a pivotal role in most of the industries for providing security to their own as well as hired or leased data. This paper its main aim is to study the multiresolution watermarking algorithms and also choosing the effective and efficient one for improving the resistance in data compression. Computational savings from such a multiresolution watermarking framework is obvious. The multiresolutional property makes our watermarking scheme robust to image/video down sampling operation by a power of two in either space or time. There is no common framework for multiresolutional digital watermarking of both images and video. A multiresolution watermarking based on the wavelet transformation is selected in each frequency band of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain and therefore it can resist the destruction of image processing.   The rapid development of Internet introduces a new set of challenging problems regarding security. One of the most significant problems is to prevent unauthorized copying of digital production from distribution. Digital watermarking has provided a powerful way to claim intellectual protection. We proposed an idea for enhancing the robustness of extracted watermarks. Watermark can be treated as a transmitted signal, while the destruction from attackers is regarded as a noisy distortion in channel.  For the implementation, we have used minimum nine coordinate positions. The watermarking algorithms to be taken for this study are Corvi algorithm and Wang algorithm. In all graph, we have plotted X axis as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and y axis as Correlation with original watermark. The threshold value ά is set to 5. The result is smaller than the threshold value then it is feasible, otherwise it is not.
