In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to extract the watermark when the carried audio is subjected to malicious attacks, audio watermarking algorithm based on spectrum distribution is proposed. An eigenvalue is designed to represent the spectrum distribution of the specified frequency-band, and then the binary watermark is embedded by adjusting the difference of the eigenvalues between two adjacent frequency-bands. The polarity of embedding depth is determined by comparing the values of the eigenvalues, which will minimize the modification about the audio so as to improve transparency. The binary watermark can be extracted blindly by judging the difference of the eigenvalues. The improved synchronization mechanism takes the small frame with the largest energy in the voiced frame as the synchronization mark to search the embedding and extracting location of the watermark, which makes the algorithm have strong robustness. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has large payload capacity, good transparency, low complexity, and strong robustness against most attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
