PatchSeal: A Robust and Intangible Image Watermarking Framework for AIGC
This paper introduces PatchSeal, a novel image watermarking framework designed to resist semantic transformations inherent in AI-generated content (AIGC) editing, while maintaining high visual quality. Traditional methods often fail under such conditions. PatchSeal leverages multi-target dispersed embedding, attention-guided masking, and a robust encoder-noise-decoder architecture to embed watermarks across multiple salient regions. This ensures recoverability even when parts of an image are modified. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior bit accuracy and perceptual quality compared to state-of-the-art baselines under various AIGC-driven manipulations and classic corruptions.

BA for Local Edits - Semantic Robustness Achieved
PatchSeal introduces an object-level dispersed embedding strategy, distributing watermark bits across multiple salient regions identified by the Segment Anything Model (SAM). This significantly enhances resilience against semantic edits and local content regeneration, a common challenge in AIGC.

The framework incorporates an Attention Mask Generation Module (AM) that adaptively regulates embedding strength. This module comprises a Body Extraction Network (BEN) for spatial subjectness and a Channel-Wise Weighting Network (CWN) for feature modulation. This ensures imperceptibility and robustness by focusing embedding on texture-rich, semantically stable areas.

PatchSeal consistently outperforms existing methods like MBRS, ARWGAN, and CIN across various distortion types, including AIGC edits. Its design focuses on structural stability and content awareness, providing superior reliability in real-world scenarios.
Addressing AIGC Challenges
Challenge: Traditional watermarking struggles against AIGC's semantic edits, leading to watermark erasure or distortion.
Solution: PatchSeal's multi-target dispersed embedding and attention-oriented masking distribute redundant watermark bits across prominent, stable regions, ensuring recoverability.
Outcome: Achieves average BA of 92.98% under AIGC conditions, significantly outperforming baselines and establishing a new standard for AIGC-robust watermarking.
