Abstract

This paper analyzes the current situation of MP3 application and the advantages of wavelet transform in audio watermarking, and effectively uses of the unipolar quantization method to propose an MP3 audio watermarking algorithm based on wavelet transform. The algorithm firstly decodes the MP3 audio, then uses the third-order discrete wavelet transform, embeds the low-frequency coefficients with the method of unipolar quantization, and finally obtains the watermarked MP3 audio file. Simulation results show that the algorithm has good auditory transparency and strong robustness by low-pass filtering, resampling, whitening, and cropping attacks on watermarked audio signals. The watermarking can be fast extracted, and meet the real-time requirements.
