- approach
- Frames watermarking as a segmentation problem, embedding hidden, localized messages into specific areas of an image rather than across the entire canvas.
- access
- open-source
- owns
- A research model that watermarks localized regions of an image so the hidden message survives heavy cropping and partial edits.
- distinctFrom
- While SynthID applies a global watermark across the generated image, WAM is specifically designed for localized watermarking that can survive aggressive cropping and localized editing.
- notes
- Meta claims the localized approach allows the watermark to be recovered even when the image is heavily cropped or only a small fragment remains (unverified).
