Abstract : girod @ ee.stanford.edu Blind digital watermarking is the communication of infor-mation via multimedia host data, where the unmodified host data is not available to the watermark detector. Many watermarking schemes suffer considerably from the remaining host-signal interference. For the additive white Gaussian case, Costa showed theoretically that interference from the host can be eliminated. However, the proof involves a huge, unstructured, random codebook, which is not feasible in practical systems. We present a suboptimal, practical scheme that employs a lattice-structured codebook to reduce complexity. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared to the information-theoretic limit and similar recent proposals. 1.,
