The existence of perceptual redundancy of many media carriers such as image and video allows for invisible embedding of an information sequence. Its applications include so-called watermarking and data hiding. The media carrier can be modeled as a communication channel, where noise comes from manipulation of the carrier. To maximize the robustness of the embedded data against the noise, coded modulation is used to encode the information sequence.
