摘要:<p>With quantisation index modulation QIM it is possible to achieve a very high data rate, and the capacity of the watermark transmission is mostly independent of the characteristics of the original audio signal, but the audio quality suffers from degradation with each watermark embedding-and-removal step. In order to avoid degradation of the audio quality, the inventive audio signal watermarking uses specific quantiser curves in time domain and in particular in frequency domain for embedding the watermark message into the audio signal, whereby the processing is almost perfectly reversible. Furthermore, it has embedded a power constraint in order to guarantee that the modifications of the audio signal due to the watermark embedding are inaudible.</p>
