Abstract
Databases are fundamental for research investigations. This paper presents the speech database generated in the framework of COST-277 “Non-linear speech processing” European project, as a result of European collaboration. This database lets to address two main problems: the relevance of bandwidth extension, and the usefulness of a watermarking with perceptual shaping at different Watermark to Signal ratios. It will be public available after the end of the COST-277 action, in January 2006.
