Disclosed are examples of embedding watermarks in a VDI session of a user. The watermark is based upon the user's identity and can be embedded into the VDI session to aid in the identification of data that is compromised from the VDI session. The watermark can be extracted from an image without needing the original image for extraction purposes.

In one embodiment, a method for 3D digital watermarking for a triangular mesh using one or more key parameters is disclosed including forming a Hamiltonian path of a desired length around a selected vertex in a selected direction of a spiral; marking the selected vertex a dead end if there is a deadlock and continuing the spiral; and applying a watermark by introducing points in a path order on edges of the spiral, wherein information is encoded at a partition of adjacent triangles at one or more of the points.

This disclosure relates to counterfeit detection and deterrence using advanced signal processing technology including steganographic embedding and digital watermarking. Digital watermark can be used on consumer products, labels, logos, hang tags, stickers and other objects to provide counterfeit detection mechanisms.

An image processing method determines a geometric transform of a suspect image by efficiently evaluating a large number of geometric transform candidates in environments with limited processing resources. Processing resources are conserved by using complementary methods for determining a geometric transform of an embedded signal. One method excels at higher geometric distortion, and specifically, distortion caused by greater tilt angle of a camera. Another method excels at lower geometric distortion, for weaker signals. Together, the methods provide a more reliable detector of an embedded data signal in image across a larger range of distortion while making efficient use of limited processing resources in mobile devices.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a computing system. The computing system can obtain a message vector and video data comprising a plurality of video frames. The computing system can process the input video with a transformation portion of a machine-learned watermark encoding model to obtain a three-dimensional feature encoding of the input video. The computing system can process the three-dimensional feature encoding of the input video and the message vector with an embedding portion of the machine-learned watermark encoding model to obtain spatial-temporal watermark encoding data descriptive of the message vector.

The present disclosure relates generally to digital watermarking and signal encoding. Various colors can be evaluated and modified to carry an encoded or auxiliary signal.

Systems and methods of detecting an unauthorized data insertion into a stream of data segments extending between electronic modules or between electronic components within a module, wherein a data stream is encrypted with a secure encryption key for transmission, then decrypted upon receipt using a corresponding secure decryption key to confirm data transmission integrity.

A watermark image may be generated that includes a first set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a first transparency value and a second set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a second transparency value, the second transparency level being different from the first transparency level. The encoded pixels may be distributed among a set of blank pixels such that each encoded pixel neighbors one or more blank pixels in the watermark image, and in particular at least two blank pixels in the watermark image. Herein, each blank pixel may be assigned the second transparency value. The watermark image may be overlaid and blended over a background source image to create an encoded source image. A decoder system may recover encoded information from the encoded source image.
