Abstract:In order to protect the copyright of digital audio and video in Internet, we propose a novel audio blind watermarking scheme combined discrete wavelets transform, discrete cosine transform, QR decomposition and audio characteristics. In this algorithm, the audio are split into blocks, and each block are decomposed on two dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT), then the approximate sub band coefficients are decomposed on discrete cosine transform (DCT), and the first quarter of the DCT coefficients are decomposed on QR decomposition and get a triangle matrix. At last, the watermarking information is embedded into the triangle matrix. The experiments show that the algorithm can get better balance between transparency and robustness of watermark, and it has strong robustness against the common audio signal processing such as additive white Gaussian noise, re sampling, re quantization, low pass filter, MP3 compression and cutting replacement.
