Audio watermarking by time-scale modification
M. Mansour, Ahmed H. Tewfik · 2002
A new algorithm for audio watermarking is proposed. The basic idea of the algorithm is to change the length of the intervals between salient points of the audio signal to embed data. We propose several novel ideas for practical implementations that can be used by other watermarking schemes as well. The algorithm is robust to common audio processing operations e.g. MP3 lossy compression, low pass filtering, and time-scale modification. The watermarked signal has very high perceptual quality and is indistinguishable from the original signal.
