A new reversible watermarking algorithm on stereo audio signals is proposed in this article. By utilizing correlations between two channels of audio signal, the authors segment one channel based on another one according to the smoothness. For each segmented sub-host sequence, they estimate its capacity and the corresponding embedding distortion firstly, and then select the optimal combinations of sub-host sequences for embedding. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve SNR (signal to noise ratio) for various kinds of capacity.
