Title: Robust Image Watermarking based on Cross-Attention and Invariant Domain Learning
Authors: Agnibh Dasgupta, Xin Zhong
Abstract summary: This paper explores a robust image watermarking methodology by harnessing cross-attention and invariant domain learning. We design a watermark embedding technique utilizing a multi-head cross attention mechanism, enabling information exchange between the cover image and watermark. Second, we advocate for learning an invariant domain representation that encapsulates both semantic and noise-invariant information concerning the watermark.

Abstract: Image watermarking involves embedding and extracting watermarks within a cover image, with deep learning approaches emerging to bolster generalization and robustness. Predominantly, current methods employ convolution and concatenation for watermark embedding, while also integrating conceivable augmentation in the training process. This paper explores a robust image watermarking methodology by harnessing cross-attention and invariant domain learning, marking two novel, significant advancements. First, we design a watermark embedding technique utilizing a multi-head cross attention mechanism, enabling information exchange between the cover image and watermark to identify semantically suitable embedding locations. Second, we advocate for learning an invariant domain representation that encapsulates both semantic and noise-invariant information concerning the watermark, shedding light on promising avenues for enhancing image watermarking techniques.

Removing Interference and Recovering Content Imaginatively for Visible Watermark Removal [63.576748565274706]
This study introduces the Removing Interference and Recovering Content Imaginatively (RIRCI) framework. RIRCI embodies a two-stage approach: the initial phase centers on discerning and segregating the watermark component, while the subsequent phase focuses on background content restoration. To achieve meticulous background restoration, our proposed model employs a dual-path network capable of fully exploring the intrinsic background information beneath semi-transparent watermarks.
