    • 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.
    • 音频信号的水印功能旨在以音频内容的变化不能被人类听觉系统识别的方式操纵音频信号。 为了降低水印的可听性并提高水印的鲁棒性,本发明使用音频信号的相位修改。 在频域中,音频信号的相位由参考相位序列的相位来操纵,随后变换成时域。 因为整个频率范围内的音频信号相位的改变可以是可听见的,所以相位操作仅在位于较高频率和/或噪声音频信号部分的一个或多个小的频率范围内以最大量进行 ,根据心理原理。 优选地,根据心理声学原理来控制剩余频率范围内相位变化的允许振幅。 通过将水印与相应的逆变换候选参考相序相关联,从加水印的音频信号中解码水印。

    • 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.
    • 如果使用扩展频谱技术,水印信息由若干数据符号组成,这些数据符号连续地嵌入音频或视频信号中,使用具有伪随机序列的调制。 在解码器站点,使用接收信号与候选伪随机序列的相关来重新获得水印信息。 这样的相关可以通过两个输入信号向量的一维实对称快速傅里叶变换来执行,每个输入信号矢量各自由输入信号的N个值的一部分组成,其中N-1个零被附加到,通过将 通过其他转化载体的共轭形式的变换向量,随后对该频域乘积向量进行逆RFFT变换。 然而,如果扩频水印的水平太低或在传输音频或视频信号时噪声过大,则相关性不会显示清晰的峰值,这意味着水印信息位不能 恢复。 根据本发明,通过在对位置零上的相关峰值没有积极影响的矢量的频域频率仓中设定为零,即哪个频率频带对该峰值没有贡献,相关结果得到改善。 从而降低了相关或匹配滤波器输出中的噪声电平,并且可以从接收到的带有水印的音频或视频信号中正确地恢复或解码水印信息项。

    • 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 dis-tortions, two or more orthogonal spreading sequences are used at encoder side with the original or encoded audio sig-nal in baseband. When applying the corresponding time-inverse orthogonal spreading sequences at decoder side, ech-oes that are longer than each one of spreading sequence's lengths can be fully removed. The spreading sequences ap-plied can be modified at decoder side according to estimated echo delay values.

    • 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 oc-cupation 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.

    • 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.
