A new research paper introduces the concept of Watermark Removal Detection (WRD), arguing that current evaluation metrics for watermark removal are insufficient. The study demonstrates that even successful watermark removal methods, which preserve perceptual quality, leave detectable statistical artifacts. A classifier trained on these artifacts achieves high detection rates, suggesting that forensic stealthiness is a crucial but overlooked requirement for watermark removal techniques. AI
