Abstract:

Aiming at the challenging work to design a robust digital audio watermarking algorithm against desynchronization attacks,a new second generation digital audio watermarking in stationary wavelet transform (SWT) domain based on robust local audio feature was proposed.First,the first-order smooth gradient response of the low-pass sub-band coefficient was calculated using Gaussian filter.Then,the short-term energy was utilized to adaptively determine local feature audio segments for embedding.Finally,the watermark information was embedded into local feature audio segments with spread transform dither modulation.The experimental results show that the proposed approach has not only good transparency,but also has strong robustness against common audio processing such as MP3 compression and good robustness against the desynchronization attacks such as pitch-scale modification et al.A SWT domain audio feature point extraction method based on smooth gradient is proposed,which effectively solves the drawbacks of poor stability and uneven distribution of audio feature points,and improves the resistance of digital audio watermarks to amplitude-scale modification,pitch-scale modification,random cropping,and jittering attacks.

Key words: digital audio watermarking, desynchronization attack, feature point, smooth gradient, stationary wavelet transform
