Abstract

An informed audio watermarking scheme using chaotic waveforms is proposed. The watermark consists of an attenuated signal embedded in the original audio signal. A modulation scheme based on vector quantization is used to achieve blind detection of the watermark signal. A method for self-synchronization of the watermark detector is proposed using chaotic orthogonal waveforms. A perceptual model is employed to ensure inaudibility of the embedded signal that is shaped to the spectrum of the host signal. High robustness to external noise is achieved by spreading the watermark data over a period of time. The robustness of the scheme is assessed by computer simulations.
