Digital watermarking for audio content protection by Lei, Baiying

“…The watermark is embedded by modifying singular values (SVs) of the host audio signal with the SS method. The designed optimization technique employs PSO to search for the optimal watermark strength by continuously adjusting the fitness values so that the conflicting requirements of robustness and imperceptibility of the watermark are satisfied optimally. …”
