Watermark Anything with Localized Messages | Dr. Pierre Fernandez, FAIR MetaAI | BLISS e.V.

We are excited to feature Dr. Pierre Fernandez, Research Scientist at Meta AI, who will discuss "Watermark Anything with Localized Messages", lasting approximately 45 minutes.

🎥 Watch to Discover:
Invisible image watermarking embeds information into image pixels in a way that remains imperceptible to the human eye but can still be retrieved even after significant image editing. However, traditional methods struggle when dealing with small, localized watermarked areas—something that often happens in real-world scenarios where images come from different sources or undergo modifications. In this talk, after a brief introduction to image watermarking, we’ll explore an approach designed to tackle this issue. Watermark Anything (ICLR 2025) reframes image watermarking as a segmentation problem. We’ll walk through the motivation behind this idea, how we developed and trained the model, the challenges we faced, and the final results.

Recorded on June. 03, 2025 at TU Berlin, Berlin.
