DETECTING A WATERMARK EMBEDDED IN AN INFORMATION SIGNAL

摘要

A watermark embedded in an information signal is detected by correlating said information signal with a plurality of watermarks Wj(n). The respective amounts of correlation C(i,j) are then evaluated to determine the watermark embedded in the signal xi(n). The invention provides a significant improvement of the detection by predictive filtering (25) the information signal and/or predictive filtering (26) the applied watermark prior to the process of correlating the signals.
