Abstract

A device for enhancing a watermark signal extracted from an output signal of a watermarking encoder including an input signal portion corresponding to an input signal to the watermarking encoder and a watermark signal portion corresponding to the watermark signal includes an input configured to receive the input signal and the watermark signal, an enhancement module operatively connected to the input and configured to a) enhance the watermark signal at least in part by adjusting a gain of the watermark signal to obtain an enhanced watermark signal, and b) generate an enhanced output signal including an input signal portion corresponding to the input signal and an enhanced watermark signal portion corresponding to the enhanced watermark signal.
