Deep learning-based watermarking has shown strong robustness against non-geometric distortions, yet its performance under geometric transformations remains limited. Such transformations induce two fundamental failure modes: region removal, such as cropping or masking, which eliminates the information carried by removed pixels, and desynchronization, such as scaling or rotation, which misaligns pixel positions and disrupts decoding.
arXiv:2606. 17961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Positional encoding is a fundamental component of Transformer architectures, as it injects information about the spatial or sequential arrangement of inputs.
arXiv:2601. 03326v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: PCA can be used for rotation invariant features, describing a shape with its $p_{ab}=E[(x_i-E[x_a])(x_b-E[x_b])]$ covariance matrix approximating shape by ellipsoid, allowing for rotation invariants like its traces of powers.
AESplat is a new pose‑free feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting framework that improves rendering quality by decoupling view‑independent and view‑dependent appearance modeling. It directly extracts the base view‑independent appearance from input images and predicts higher‑order spherical harmonic coefficients with a shallow MLP that incorporates 3D‑aware inductive biases. Experiments on several datasets show AESplat outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving up to 0.8 dB higher PSNR than NAS3R and 1.1 dB over DepthSplat on RealEstate10K.

The paper introduces the first systematic robustness benchmark for local invisible image watermarking, evaluating five methods across 55 image transformations that include signal distortions, coordinate misalignments, indirect local edits, and direct watermark edits. Results show that all methods are vulnerable to some transformation, with MaskWM achieving the best payload recovery and localization but at the cost of image quality. The study highlights that robustness varies strongly with transformation type, especially noting that geometric misalignment and generative local edits can completely disrupt payload recovery.
