In the PN-sequence based audio watermarking system, the PN sequence is shaped by a filter derived from the psychoacoustic model to increase robustness and inaudibility. The psychoacoustic model calculated in each audio segment, however, requires heavy computational loads. In this paper, we propose an efficient watermarking system adopting a fixed-shape perceptual filter that substitutes psychoacoustic model derived filter. The proposed filter can shape the PN-sequence to be inaudible and enable to embed the robust watermark in a simple manner. Moreover, we propose an anchitecture for the PN-sequence compensation fitter in the watermark detector to increase correlation between the watermark and the PN-sequence. With the proposed architecture, the blind watermark detection performance has been enhanced.
