Research on digital watermark using pre-processing technology

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

We have realized a watermark embedding system based on audio perceptual masking and brought forward a watermark detection system using pre-processing technology. We can detect watermark from watermarked audio without original audio by using this method. The results have indicated that this embedding and detecting method is robust, on the premise of not affecting the hearing quality, it can resist those attacks such as MPEG compressing, filtering and adding white noise.
