生成模型推动高质量图像快速生成,引发对虚假信息与真实性的社会担忧。多比特图像水印是一种有前景的解决方案,可在图像中嵌入多比特消息,使验证者能检测图像是否由特定人生成,并通过解码确定来源。现有方法在容量、对常见图像失真的鲁棒性以及理论支持方面表现不足。为此,我们提出ADD(Add, Dot, Decode)方法,包含两个阶段:学习一个水印,将其与多比特消息线性组合后加到图像中;解码时通过水印与含水印图像的内积完成。在标准MS-COCO基准上,针对挑战性的48比特水印任务,ADD实现100%解码准确率,在多种图像失真下性能下降不超过2%,显著优于现有方法平均14%的下降幅度。此外,ADD在计算效率上大幅提升,嵌入速度比最快现有方法快2倍,解码速度快7.4倍。我们还提供了理论分析,解释所学水印与解码规则为何有效。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As generative models enable rapid creation of high-fidelity images, societal concerns about misinformation and authenticity have intensified. A promising remedy is multi-bit image watermarking, which embeds a multi-bit message into an image so that a verifier can later detect whether the image is generated by someone and further identify the source by decoding the embedded message. Existing approaches often fall short in capacity, resilience to common image distortions, and theoretical justification. To address these limitations, we propose ADD (Add, Dot, Decode), a multi-bit image watermarking method with two stages: learning a watermark to be linearly combined with the multi-bit message and added to the image, and decoding through inner products between the watermarked image and the learned watermark. On the standard MS-COCO benchmark, we demonstrate that for the challenging task of 48-bit watermarking, ADD achieves 100\% decoding accuracy, with performance dropping by at most 2\% under a wide range of image distortions, substantially smaller than the 14\% average drop of state-of-the-art methods. In addition, ADD achieves substantial computational gains, with 2-fold faster embedding and 7.4-fold faster decoding than the fastest existing method. We further provide a theoretical analysis explaining why the learned watermark and the corresponding decoding rule are effective.
