Summary
This research implements Exact Diffusion Inversion via Coupled Transformation (EDICT) [1] with the Gaussian Shading [2] watermarking technique for stable diffusion models. The results show a slight improvement in the performance of Gaussian Shading. The implementation is tested on manipulated images after watermarking, and results in the table below shows better performance for most image manipulation methods, except for ColorJitter and Salt & Pepper Noise. For more details, please refer to the paper.Results
Table 1. The following table shows the results obtained by testing our method against the baseline. It demonstrates that when EDICT is used, performance improves or remains consistent across all image manipulation methods, except when brightness is increased (ColorJitter) and when Salt & Pepper noise is added.- TPR: True Precision Rate with fixed false positive rate of 1e-6
- mean_acc: Mean bit accuracy
- std_acc: Standard deviation on bit accuracy
