Watermark Anything

Watermark Anything is an image watermarking technology developed by Facebook Research, which allows one or more localized watermark information to be embedded in images. The importance of this technology lies in its ability to achieve copyright protection and tracking of image content while ensuring image quality. The technical background is based on the research of deep learning and image processing, and its main advantages include high robustness, concealment and flexibility. The product is positioned for research and development purposes and is currently provided free of charge to academics and developers.

Demand group:

"The target audience is researchers and developers in the field of image processing, as well as enterprises and individuals who need image copyright protection. This technology is suitable for them because it provides an effective method to protect image copyright and prevent unauthorized use and distribution, It also supports tracking and verification of image content."

Example of usage scenario:

Case 1: Artists use Watermark Anything to embed watermarks in their artwork to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution.

Case 2: News organizations embed localized watermarks in published images to track the source and usage of the images.

Case 3: An enterprise embeds watermarks in design drawings shared internally to ensure that only authorized personnel can access and use these design drawings.

Product features:

- Embed localized watermark: Able to embed watermark information in specific areas of the image.

-Multiple watermark support: Supports embedding multiple watermark information in a single picture.

- Robust detection: Watermark information can be detected even if the image has been compressed, cropped, etc.

- High flexibility: users can adjust the invisibility and robustness of the watermark as needed.

- Pre-trained model: Provides pre-trained models to facilitate users to start using it quickly.

- Customized watermark: Users can customize watermark information according to their own needs.

- Easy to integrate: Code and documentation are provided to facilitate integration into existing systems.
