Deepfake detection via image watermarking: A generative adversarial model approach with limited data
摘要
This paper introduces a novel Generative Adversarial Model for Image Watermarking called WatermarkGAN, which is designed to embed imperceptible digital watermarks into GAN-generated images, ensuring copyright protection with limited training data. The approach effectively safeguards against unauthorized use while preserving both image quality and robustness under distortions. The method achieves a high watermark embedding capacity of 100 bits per image and maintains 90% to 94% extraction accuracy, even in the presence of common image processing attacks such as compression, Gaussian noise, and rotation. It integrates a CNN-based watermark embedding and retrieval system with StyleGAN2-ADA for high-fidelity image generation. Through extensive experimentation on two datasets, CelebA (25K images, 128
