Spread-spectrum based methods are not effective enough to ensure their robustness. By modeling digital watermarking as digital communications, several researchers proposed using error correcting coding (ECC) to improve robustness. However, an important fact that has long been neglected is that due to the imperceptibility requirement, the redundancy introduced by ECC will lead to a decrease of the magnitude of watermark signal. Therefore, a problem arises naturally:Could the usage of ECC effectively improve the robustness of watermarking? This paper addresses this problem from the perspectives of both theoretical analysis and experimental investigation. Our investigation shows that ECG cannot effectively improve the robustness of watermarking against a great majority of various attacks except for cropping and jitter attacks. Hence, ECC should not be considered as a universal measure that can be employed to enhance robustness of watermarking.展开更多

文摘四进制低密度校验码(Low-Density Parity-Check Code,LDPC)具有较好的抗突发差错性能。为了进一步改善系统的性能并适当降低其复杂度,在二进制LDPC码的基础上,主要研究短码长四进制LDPC码,并在原有串行译码算法的基础上对其改进,提出一种基于校验点准确度的串行译码算法。仿真结果表明,在多进制高斯信道条件下,对于短码而言,改进的串行译码算法性能要优于串行译码算法,在误码率为10-2时,能获得0.25 d B的编码增益。
