Optimization methods for the insertion, projection, and detection of digital watermarks in digital data
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein are methods and systems for encoding digital watermarks into content signals. Also disclosed are systems and methods for detecting and/or verifying digital watermarks in content signals. According to one embodiment, a system for encoding of digital watermark information includes: a window identifier for identifying a sample window in the signal; an interval calculator for determining a quantization interval of the sample window; and a sampler for normalizing the sample window to provide normalized samples. Other methods and systems for encoding/decoding digital watermarks are also disclosed.
1. A system for digital watermark encode/decode operations, comprising:
a CODEC database comprising a plurality of CODECs; and
a processor which encodes at least one watermark using at least one CODEC from the CODEC database wherein the processor encodes a plurality of watermarks using at least two CODECs from the CODEC database, and wherein the processor stores each of the CODECs to the watermarking key wherein the processor generates a hash value for information regarding the CODEC used to encode the plurality of watermarks and attaches the hash value to the watermark.
