It is often desirable to embed various data in an image, audio, or video file. In some instances, the embedded data may comprise a digital watermark. A digital watermark may comprise a pattern of bits inserted into a digital image, audio, or video file. The watermark may comprise copyright information, such as author, rights, etc. The watermark may serve to provide copy protection for intellectual property that is in a digital format. Unlike printed watermarks, for example imprinted on stationary, digital watermarks may be designed to be as invisible as practicable, or in the case of an audio file as inaudible as practicable. Watermarks are merely one example of data that may be embedded in a digital object.
