Lin Y., Abdulla W.H. Audio Watermark. A Comprehensive Foundation Using MatLAB

Springer, 2015. — 213 p.Audio watermarking is a technique providing a promising solution to copyrights protection for digital audio and multimedia products. Using this technique, hidden information called watermark containing copyrights information is imperceptibly embedded into the audio track of a host media. This watermark may be extracted later on from a suspected media to verify the authenticity. To function as an effective tool to enforce ownership rights, the audio watermarking scheme must satisfy the imperceptibility, robustness, security, data payload, and computational complexity requirements. Throughout this book we will be illustrating in a practical way the commonly used and novel approaches of audio watermarking for copyrights protection. We will also introduce our recently developed methods for objectively predicting the perceptual quality of the watermarked audio signals.
This book is directed towards students, researchers, engineers, multimedia practitioners, and academics who are interested in multimedia authentication and audio pirating control. The theoretical descriptions of the watermarking techniques are augmented by MatLAB implementations to ease understanding of the watermarking principles. A GUI demonstration program for watermarking embedding and extraction under different attacks is also provided to quickly surf through the different aspects of the watermarking attributes.Principles of Psychoacoustics
