Researchers have introduced RAW, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the robustness of digital avatar watermarking techniques. Existing methods struggle with common avatar post-processing steps like background replacement, which significantly degrade watermark recovery. To address this, the team also proposed WALT, a novel watermarking approach that embeds information in UV texture space through 3D face reconstruction, demonstrating superior performance against various attacks.
