Abstract: This paper proposes a robust audio watermarking approach against random cropping and timescale modifications (TSM) by using two local statistical features. In the embedding, audio signals are divided into segments, and histogram and the absolute mean value of each segment computed. The histogram shapes of the segments are modified to insert messages by referring to the corresponding mean values. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed audio watermarking algorithm can provide better performance for random cropping while keeping satisfactory robustness to the TSM attacks in comparison with earlier methods.  

Key words: audio watermarking, robust segmentation, random cropping, local statistical feature
