Abstract

In this paper, we suggest a new audio watermarking method for audio contents copyrights that can efficiently provide protection from MP3 compression attacks. Watermarks were inserted at the coefficients repeatedly from low frequencies to high frequencies after DCT transform in commonly used Cox’s spread spectrum method. Because the methods using arbitrary coefficients are not effective, we use the new weight functions that make small losses for the watermark coefficients during attacks, using psychological acoustics. In the results of various sound clips, the suggested method had overall better outcomes than the Cox's method by preserving watermarks and reducing distortions of the original sounds.

본 논문에서는 오디오 컨텐츠 저작권 보안을 위하여 MP3 공격에 강인한 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 주파수 도메인에서의 워터마킹 방법인 Cox의 스프레드 스펙트럼 방법에서는 DCT후 값이 큰 저주파수의 계수에 순차적으로 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 임의의 주파수 계수에 삽입하는 방법은 효과적이지 못하므로, 본 논문에서는 심리음향 모델을 분석하여 MP3 공격시 손실이 적은 주파수 계수에 적응적인 함수를 적용하여 가중치를 부여한 후 계수에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 음원에 대하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법은 기존의 방법들에 비해 워터마크의 보존하고 원본 음원의 왜곡을 줄이는 두 가지 측면 모두 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.
