A Brief, In-Depth Survey of Deep Learning-Based Image Watermarking
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2023)
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive survey of deep learning-based image watermarking; this technique entails the invisible embedding and extraction of watermarks within a cover image, aiming for a seamless combination of robustness and adaptability. We navigate the complex landscape of this interdisciplinary domain, linking historical foundations, current innovations, and prospective developments. Unlike existing literature, our study concentrates exclusively on image watermarking with deep learning, delivering an in-depth, yet brief analysis enriched by three fundamental contributions. First, we introduce a refined categorization, segmenting the field into embedder-extractor, deep networks for feature transformation, and hybrid methods. This taxonomy, inspired by the varied roles of deep learning across studies, is designed to infuse clarity, offering readers technical insights and directional guidance. Second, our exploration dives into representative methodologies, encapsulating the diverse research directions and inherent challenges within each category to provide a consolidated perspective. Lastly, we venture beyond established boundaries, outlining emerging frontiers and providing detailed insights into prospective research avenues.
