摘要： Spread spectrum technology and the related inserted or added information signal can be used for implementing watermarking digital audio signals. A known processing for retrieving at receiver or decoder side the watermark signal information bit from the spread spectrum is convolving the received or replayed spectrum with a spreading function that is time-inverse with respect to the original spreading function. The pseudo noise sequences are modulated one or more carrier frequencies which are inserted at one or more frequency bands into the spectrum of an audio signal. The watermark signal decoder checks the frequency bands occupied by such carriers. According to the invention, the frequency band occupation information is signalled in advance, i.e. is trans-mitted already together with the frame data for the current frame, such that the watermark signal decoder knows before processing the following audio signal frame which carrier frequency or frequencies are occupied and must be used for the corresponding carrier demodulation, and which carrier frequencies need not be checked and demodulated.

摘要： Watermark information (denoted WM) consists of several symbols which are embedded continuously in an audio or a video signal. At decoder site the WM is regained using correlation of the received signal with an m-sequence if Spread Spectrum is used. In some watermark technology the watermark information is transmitted asynchronously, i.e. it is continuously tested whether or not WM can be embedded imperceptible within the audio or video signals. Only if this is true a WM frame is transmitted. But a WM frame consists of some tens of symbols, each carrying one or more bits which are transmitted synchronously. That means, if the period in which the WM can be embedded is shorter than the frame length, some symbols cannot be recovered at receiver side. According to the invention, each WM symbol carries an ID item in addition to its normal payload, and it is already tested in the encoder whether or not the signal is good enough so that the embedded symbol can be recovered at decoder side. If true, it is embedded. If not true, no WM is embedded for the length of one symbol and the test is repeated for the following symbol. The sequence of IDs is known at the encoder which can therefore detect using the ID whether or not a symbol has been skipped.
摘要翻译：水印信息（表示为WM）由连续嵌入音频或视频信号的几个符号组成。在解码器位置，如果使用扩频，则使用接收信号与m序列的相关性来重新获得WM。在一些水印技术中，水印信息是异步发送的，即连续测试WM是否可以在音频或视频信号内嵌入不可察觉的信号。只有这样，才发送WM帧。但是WM帧由几十个符号组成，每个符号携带一个或多个同步传输的位。这意味着，如果可嵌入WM的周期短于帧长度，则在接收机侧无法恢复某些符号。根据本发明，每个WM符号除了其正常有效载荷之外还携带ID项目，并且已经在编码器中测试了信号是否足够好，使得嵌入符号可以在解码器侧被恢复。如果是，它是嵌入的。如果不是真的，则不会为一个符号的长度嵌入WM，并为以下符号重复测试。 ID的序列在编码器处是已知的，因此可以使用ID来检测符号是否被跳过。

摘要： Spread spectrum technology and the related inserted or added information signal can be used for implementing watermarking digital audio signals. A known processing for retrieving at receiver or decoder side the watermark signal information bit from the spread spectrum is convolving the received or replayed spectrum with a spreading function that is time-inverse with respect to the original spreading function. If BPSK modulation was used for applying the spread spectrum function, the output is a peak at the middle of the sequence of correlation values, the sign of such peak representing the value of the desired watermark signal information bit. According to the invention, in order to cope with echo distortions, two or more orthogonal spreading sequences are used at encoder side with the original or encoded audio signal in baseband. When applying the corresponding time-inverse orthogonal spreading sequences at decoder side, echoes that are longer than each one of spreading sequence's lengths can be fully removed. The spreading sequences applied can be modified at decoder side according to estimated echo delay values.

摘要： Many watermarking systems make use of correlation for calculating a detection metric, which means that several reference patterns are generated at encoder side and one or more of them are embedded inside the content signal, dependent on the message to be embedded. To decode the embedded message, it is necessary to discover which reference pattern was embedded at encoder side by correlating the known reference patterns with the content signal. In the case where watermarked audio is emitted by a loudspeaker and then captured with a microphone, the received signal echoes are used for watermark detection instead of treating them as noise by integrating the correlation values resulting from echoes into the main correlation peak, thereby using correlation result amplitude values located within a predetermined neighborhood of a correlation result peak amplitude value and exceeding a predetermined threshold.

摘要： Watermark information consists of several data symbols which are embedded continuously in an audio or a video signal using modulation with a pseudo-random sequence if spread spectrum technology is used. At decoder site the watermark information is regained using correlation of the received signal with a candidate pseudo-random sequence. Such correlation can be performed by one-dimensional real-symmetric fast Fourier transform of the two input signal vectors, which each consist of a section of N values of the input signal, to which section N−1 zeroes are attached, by multiplying one of the transformed vectors by the conjugated version of the other transformed vector, followed by inverse RFFT transform of that frequency domain product vector. However, if the level of a spread-spectrum watermark is too low or if too much noise had been added during the transmission of the audio or video signals, the correlation does not show a clear peak, which means that the watermark information bits cannot be recovered. According to the invention, the correlation result is improved by setting to zero in the frequency domain frequency bins of the vector which do not have a positive impact on the correlation peak at location zero, i.e. which frequency bins do not contribute to that peak. Thereby the noise level in the correlation or matched filter output is reduced and the watermark information items can be recovered or decoded correctly from the received watermarked audio or video signal.

摘要： Watermarking of audio signals intends to manipulate the audio signal in a way that the changes in the audio content cannot be recognised by the human auditory system. In order to reduce the audibility of the watermark and to improve the robustness of the watermarking the invention uses phase modification of the audio signal. In the frequency domain, the phase of the audio signal is manipulated by the phase of a reference phase sequence, followed by transform into time domain. Because a change of the audio signal phase over the whole frequency range can be audible, the phase manipulation is carried out with a maximum amount only within one or more small frequency ranges which are located in the higher frequencies and/or in noisy audio signal sections, according to psycho-acoustic principles. Preferably, the allowable amplitude of the phase changes in the remaining frequency ranges is controlled according to psycho-acoustic principles. The watermark is decoded from the watermarked audio signal by correlating it with corresponding inversely transformed candidate reference phase sequences.

摘要： For protecting by watermarking against non-authorised use, e.g. non-authorised recording or copying, original audio or video data which are to be presented in a digital cinema, a sender site generates from the original signal at least two differently pre-watermarked versions for successive blocks or frames of the signal, wherein these versions are derived by applying a repeated watermark symbol value to a version and different watermark symbol values to the different versions. The pre-watermarked signal versions are encrypted and transferred e.g. as data files to a digital cinema unit in which they are decrypted. According to the values of a desired watermark information word, corresponding frames or blocks from said decrypted and pre-watermarked versions are assembled in a successive manner, so as to provide and present a watermarked version of said original audio or video signal that carries said watermark information word.

摘要： Watermark information (denoted WM) consists of several symbols which are embedded continuously in an audio or a video signal using spread-spectrum. At decoder site the WM is regained using correlation of the received signal with an resequence. According to the invention, not only is the watermark made audio or video signal level dependent (PAS), but also the spreading sequence used for the watermark is made audio or video signal level dependent. This means that the same WM symbol is encoded by several different spreading sequences (NSS). The encoder tests (DEC), which one of these WM symbols or sequences can be retrieved best in a decoder, and embeds that selected spreading sequence WM in the audio or video signal to be watermarked. At decoder side all candidate WM spreading sequences are correlated with the received signal and the spreading sequence with the best match is chosen as the correct one.
