First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing apparatus for facilitating the protection of digital signals comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory configured to maintain one or more modules executable on the processor to;
obtain a digital signal;
obtain a watermark; and
using quantization index modulation (QIM), watermark the signal with the watermark, wherein such QIM utilizes non-local characteristics of the signal; and
wherein the non-local characteristics comprise statistics representative of one or more pseudorandomly dimensioned segments of the signal.
