A Novel Technique for Audio Signals Watermarking in the Wavelet and Walsh Transform Domains

Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to audio signals watermarking in the wavelet or the Walsh transform domain. The idea is to embed watermark data in the coefficients of some scales of the transform domain. The overall bit rate of this method is about 90 bps. Due to low computational complexity of the suggested approach, particularly in the Walsh domain, this algorithm can be implemented in real time. Experimental results show robustness of the proposed method in low SNRs and also against some typical attacks, such as MP3 compression, echo, filtering, etc. Subjective evaluation confirms transparency of the watermarked audio signals
