Statistical audio watermarking algorithm based on perceptual analysis

In this paper, we describe a novel statistical audio watermarking scheme. Under the control of the masking thresholds, watermark is embedded adaptively and transparently in the perceptual significant portions in wavelet packet domain by a statistical method. Watermark detection can be done without access to the original signal. Experimental results show the proposed scheme can survive common signal manipulations and malicious attacks.
