Abstract

See full text

A watermark detector is disclosed to judge whether multimedia content can be copied or not. The watermark detector examines the multimedia content and outputs a signal indicating whether a watermark is present or not. A decision variable indicating to which extent the watermark is present is determined, for example, the amount of correlation between the input signal and a reference copy of the watermark to be detected. The watermark is detected if the decision variable exceeds a predetermined threshold (y.sub.2). The detector also generates a random output signal for a predetermined range of decision values between the threshold (y.sub.2) and a further threshold (y.sub.1).
