Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we aim to embed watermark information without perception of deterioration of sound quality based on watermarking method in consideration of human auditory property. Therefore, we use pitch estimation which is used in automatic music transcription. Automatic music transcription is a technique to convert music played with musical instruments to the score automatically. We embed watermark information in consonances of original audio signal. Generally, consonances are unison, octave, perfect fifth and perfect fourth. In this paper, we embed watermark information in perfect fifth or perfect fourth. Moreover, we use spectrogram analysis for pitch estimation. We aim to reduce deterioration of sound quality of watermarked audio signal by embedding watermark information in consonances of estimated pitch in spectrogram analysis.
