The proliferation of AI-generated images produced by Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) has raised critical concerns regarding copyright infringement and misinformation. Although existing frequency-domain watermarking methods embed handcrafted geometric patterns into the initial latent noise prior to generation, they suffer from limited capacity and rigid pattern designs.

arXiv:2505. 03646v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adversarial robustness of deep autoencoders (AEs) has received less attention than that of discriminative models, although their compressed latent representations induce ill-conditioned mappings that can amplify small input perturbations and destabilize reconstructions.

arXiv:2606. 12977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting, embedding user-specific identifiers (fingerprints) into generated outputs, has recently emerged as a popular solution to protect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of generative text-to-image (T2I) models and prevent unauthorized redistribution.

Existing watermark attacks typically rely on predefined signal-processing operations or locally constrained restoration networks, making it difficult to capture the long-range dependencies of globally distributed watermark signals and resulting in an unfavorable trade-off between removal effectiveness and visual fidelity. In this paper, we propose SPFM-Net, a semantic-prior-guided and frequency-constrained Mamba framework for invisible watermark attack.
