  • Patent number: 11494866
    Abstract: A method of embedding a bit or more of watermark data in a video signal to be entropy coded, wherein the video signal may be a block with levels, wherein the method may include: obtaining the watermark data; and obtaining a value of a first watermarked level on the basis of a first level of the block by processing the value of the first watermarked level. There also is a method of detecting a watermark in a video signal, the video signal having been entropy decoded and with a block with a first watermarked level, wherein the method may include: receiving the video signal; obtaining at least one bit of watermark data wi? on the basis of the first watermarked level; and determining a tampering indicator by verifying whether the obtained watermark data wi? corresponds with watermark data wi.

  • Patent number: 9978382
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for audio watermarking are disclosed in which watermark data is codified in a plurality of Fourier transform coefficients of the audio signal. The watermarked audio is transmitted and captured as sound waves after analogic conversion, typically through a medium with some degree of signal degradation. The receiving end converts the watermarked audio back to the digital domain before extracting the watermark data from the Fourier transform coefficients. This configuration is enhanced in certain embodiments by a robust bit codification technique with fast decoding algorithms, synchronization signalling and error correction.
