New benchmark and method tackle avatar watermarking challenges

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.

    RAW: Robust Avatar Watermarking -- Benchmarking and Baseline

    arXiv:2605.23994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Digital avatar watermarking presents unique challenges: avatars are routinely post-processed with background replacement, reframing, and format conversion before deployment. We introduce \textbf{RAW} (Robust Avatar Watermarking), …
