He, a highly respected research engineer who has worked for the likes of Panasonic and BrainMedia, delivers this thorough discussion of watermarking technologies and their relationship to copyright protection, digital signal processing, perceptual audio coding and compression and psychoacoustic modeling. He covers the legal motivation behind watermarking media, how human auditory response reacts to current watermarking technologies and how the process is being adjusted and improved for future applications. Plenty of graphs, charts, mathematical models and codes are presented to explain the watermarking process to both students and engineers. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
