• Authors: Gursimran Singh, Tianxi Hu, Mohammad Akbari, Qiang Tang, Yong Zhang,
• Abstract summary: 3D models, particularly AI-generated ones, have witnessed a recent surge across various industries such as entertainment. We rigorously define the novel task of automated 3D visible watermarking in terms of two competing aspects: watermark quality and asset utility. We propose a method of embedding visible watermarks that automatically determines the right location, orientation, and number of watermarks to be placed on arbitrary 3D assets.

• Abstract: 3D models, particularly AI-generated ones, have witnessed a recent surge across various industries such as entertainment. Hence, there is an alarming need to protect the intellectual property and avoid the misuse of these valuable assets. As a viable solution to address these concerns, we rigorously define the novel task of automated 3D visible watermarking in terms of two competing aspects: watermark quality and asset utility. Moreover, we propose a method of embedding visible watermarks that automatically determines the right location, orientation, and number of watermarks to be placed on arbitrary 3D assets for high watermark quality and asset utility. Our method is based on a novel rigid-body optimization that uses back-propagation to automatically learn transforms for ideal watermark placement. In addition, we propose a novel curvature-matching method for fusing the watermark into the 3D model that further improves readability and security. Finally, we provide a detailed experimental analysis on two benchmark 3D datasets validating the superior performance of our approach in comparison to baselines. Code and demo are available.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently created impressive assets for various applications. Existing watermarking methods are not suited for 3DGS considering security, capacity, and invisibility. We propose GuardSplat, an innovative and efficient framework that effectively protects the copyright of 3DGS assets.

  Digital watermarking techniques can be applied to embed ownership information discreetly within 3DGS models. Naively embedding the watermark on a pre-trained 3DGS can cause obvious distortion in rendered images. We propose an uncertainty-based method that constrains the perturbation of model parameters to achieve invisible watermarking for 3DGS.
