Abstract(in English) Digital watermarking is a technique to embed another digital data into digital contents such as music, images, and videos. For audio signals, the sound quality of the stego signal should not deteriorate as much as host signal. With current methods, high sound quality means that the difference between the host and stego signals is small. We proposed a method with which high sound quality means that the sound quality of the stego signal is maintained as music even if another sound, except for host signal, is perceived. Accordingly, we use a sound with an instrumental timbre as the watermark signal. The sound quality of the stego signal does not produce an unpleasant feeling to the listener even if the watermark signal is perceived.Moreover, we use nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). NMF is one of the technique used for separation of an audio mixture that consists of multiple instrumental sources. NMF is an algorithm that decomposes a nonnegative matrix that is an amplitude spectrogram of a target signal into two nonnegative matrices that corresponds to the spectral patterns of the target signal and the activation of each spectrum. Watermarks are defined using the elements of activation matrix and are embedded into host signal by adding watermark signals that have similar instrumental timbre. In this paper, we examine the validity of embedding method.
