This book illustrates the commonly used and novel approaches of audio watermarking for copyrights protection. The author examines the theoretical and practical step by step guide to the topic of data hiding in audio signal such as music, speech, broadcast. The book covers new techniques developed by the authors are fully explained and MATLAB programs, for audio watermarking and audio quality assessments and also discusses methods for objectively predicting the perceptual quality of the watermarked audio signals.
Explains the theoretical basics of the commonly used audio watermarking techniquesDiscusses the methods used to objectively and subjectively assess the quality of the audio signalsProvides a comprehensive well tested MATLAB programs that can be used efficiently to watermark any audio media

Report
From the book reviews:
"This is how a practical technical book should be written. Short and to the point from page one. ... The book is supplemented by well-written MATLAB programs, which makes all of the experiments reproducible--very important for gaining confidence in a complex subject. ... The book is highly recommended to anyone interested in audio signal processing. It could also serve as a guide for student projects in audio digital signal processing (DSP)." (Vladimir Botchev, Computing Reviews, February, 2015)
