Watermark detection

A method and arrangement for detecting a watermark in a suspect signal, in which the watermark is embedded by adding a watermark pattern w to a signal p with a given embedding strength s ("additive embedding": q=p+sw), includes correlating (2,3) it with the suspect signal. Recently, "...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and arrangement for detecting a watermark in a suspect signal, in which the watermark is embedded by adding a watermark pattern w to a signal p with a given embedding strength s ("additive embedding": q=p+sw), includes correlating (2,3) it with the suspect signal. Recently, "multiplicative embedding" has been proposed (q=p(1+sw)). In this case, multiplicatively embedded watermarks are detected by raising (1) the signal to a power beta prior to correlating it with the watermark. The power beta may be fixed (e.g., beta=2) or derived from a statistical analysis (5) of the signal.
