Watermarks

Adding and removing them.

A watermark is a visible distortion to an image often denoting authorship or ownership. As it is visible, a person wishing to "steal" the image for use elsewhere can easily remove the mark, but it may discourage casual theft.

There are many possible ways of watermarking an image. A simple way is by compositing the watermark over the image.

Make a watermark

We use "snibgo" in light antialiased letters with a dark shadow at 25% opacity, on a transparent background. This image has no opaque pixels.

%IMG7%magick ^
  -size 200x100 ^
  -background None -fill #123 label:snibgo ^
  ( +clone -channel RGB -negate +channel -repage -2-2 ) ^
  -layers merge ^
  -channel A -evaluate Multiply 0.25 +channel ^
  -trim +repage ^
  wm_mark.png
wm_mark.png

Most of the pixels in this image are either fully transparent or 25% opaque, but there is antialiasing betwen the regions. We can count the number of different values of alpha:

%IMG7%magick ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -alpha extract -unique-colors ^
  -format %%w\n ^
  info: 
372

Apply the watermark

We simply composite the watermark over a source image:

%IMG7%magick ^
  toes.png ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -gravity Center ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  wm_toes_wm.png
wm_toes_wm.pngjpg

De-watermark

This watermarking process above is lossless; it hasn't removed information from the source image, so if we know the watermark and the the watermarked image, we can recover the source.

(This isn't strictly true. We are working in Q16 integer. If both images have 16 bits of information/channel/pixel, we can't combine them in a 16-bit format while retaining all the information. Higher opacities of the watermark lose more information from the input, and we can't get it back. But an opacity up to 99.99% gives a visually successful dewatermark.)

Thus, if we have an opaque watermarked image and the non-opaque watermark, we can reconstruct the opaque original with the process that is the inverse of "-compose Over -composite". (See the Inverse composites page, equation D = (R - S.Sa) / (1-Sa).) This removes the watermark from the watermarked image.

%IMG7%magick ^
  wm_toes_wm.png ^
  ( wm_mark.png ^
    ( +clone -alpha extract +write mpr:WEX ) ^
    -alpha off ^
    -compose Multiply -composite ^
  ) ^
  -gravity center ^
  -compose MinusSrc -composite ^
  ( mpr:WEX -negate ) ^
  -alpha off ^
  -compose DivideSrc -composite ^
  wm_dewm.png
wm_dewm.pngjpg

How close is the de-watermarked image to the original image?

%IMG7%magick compare -metric RMSE toes.png wm_dewm.png NULL: 
0.126276 (1.92685e-06)
%IMG7%magick compare -metric PAE toes.png wm_dewm.png NULL: 
1 (1.5259e-05)

This is very close. The peak error is one in 2^16 as we are using Q16. We are using integer IM so the watermarking "-compose Over -composite" has been rounded to the nearest integer, and the same for each de-watermarking operation.

Suppose someone took my watermarked image and used this process to remove the watermark. Could I show that they had done so? We find the difference between the original source and the de-watermarked version, auto-levelled:

%IMG7%magick ^
  toes.png ^
  wm_dewm.png ^
  -compose Difference -composite ^
  +write wm_dewm_r.png ^
  -auto-level ^
  wm_dewm_r_a.png
wm_dewm_r.pngjpg wm_dewm_r_a.pngjpg

So, although the de-watermarked image looks like the original source, we can compare it to the original and detect the remnants of a watermark.

A dishonest dewatermarker could conceal their action by adding a little noise to the de-watermarked image. A more tamper-proof watermark might be noisy (so the watermarking image could not be easily re-constructed), or be lossy so that mathematical reconstruction is not possible, or both. But a dewatermarker could simply remove pixels and use a hole-filling technique.

Deriving a semi-transparent watermark

If we have the opaque input image, and the result from the image with a semi-transparent watermark composited over it, can we derive the watermark?

Image: toes.png

toes.pngjpg

Watermarked image: wm_toes_wm.png

wm_toes_wm.pngjpg

As shown in Inverse composites: Opaque inputs, if we don't know the colours or opacity of a watermark, any one of a virtually infinite number of watermarks might have been used.

However, if we guess the opacity of each pixel, we can calculate its colour. The script findWater.bat assumes that where a pixel is unchanged, the watermark there is fully transparent. Otherwise, it takes a user-supplied value for opacity (0.0 = transparent, 1.0 = opaque). The script returns the derived watermark. It also composites this over the input image, compares that to the user-specified watermarked image, and returns the RMSE score (0.0 is perfect match, 1.0 is totally different).

So we can run the script with a number of values for opacity.

call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.0 ^
  wm_deriv_00.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
0.02156181224797551 
wm_deriv_00.png
call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.1 ^
  wm_deriv_01.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
0.009716789188342283 
wm_deriv_01.png
call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.25 ^
  wm_deriv_025.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
3.290983852175886e-07 
wm_deriv_025.png
call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.5 ^
  wm_deriv_05.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
3.290983852175886e-07 
wm_deriv_05.png
call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.75 ^
  wm_deriv_075.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
8.621969907565209e-07 
wm_deriv_075.png
call %PICTBAT%findWater ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 1.0 ^
  wm_deriv_1.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
0 
wm_deriv_1.png

The best score, 0, occurs when we guess the watermark opacity is 1.0, ie fully opaque. But we can see edges of the toes showing through. We can also see a ghostly version of the image for watermarks at 0.75 and 0.5 opacity.

The worst score occurs when we guess the watermark is entirely transparent, which is the same as having no watermark.

We get a good score from the opacity that was actually used to make the watermark: 0.25.

Finding the antialias

The solutions found above have watermarks that have exactly two opacities: entirely transparent, and some other opacity. However, the ground truth watermark has not only full transparency and 25% opacity but also antialiasing between the two. There is no way to determine the anti-aliasing because there is no unique solution for the opacity at any pixel. However, we can guess at the anti-aliasing, which supplies the value for the opacity at every pixel, so we can determine the colour at every pixel.

The script findWaterOpac.bat models the antialiasing by creating an image that is black where there is no watermark, and white where there is a watermark. Then it applies a small blur, and levels from 50% to 100%. This gives a graduation that occurs entirely within the watermark. The resulting image is just the opacity of the watermark.

call %PICTBAT%findWaterOpac ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png 0.25 ^
  wm_opac_025.png ^
  "-blur 0x0.4"
wm_opac_025.png

From this opacity map, the script findWater2.bat calculates the watermap colours.

call %PICTBAT%findWater2 ^
  toes.png wm_toes_wm.png wm_opac_025.png ^
  wm_aa_025.png

echo %FW_COMP% 
3.16411e-07

How many different values are in the alpha channel?

Watermarking images with transparency

When an image contains transparency, it can be watermarked in exactly the same way.

We will watermark ic_tr_src.png.

It contains full transparency,
full opacity, and levels in between.

ic_tr_src.png

Apply the watermark:

%IMG7%magick ^
  ic_tr_src.png ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -gravity Center ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  wm_tr_wm.png
wm_tr_wm.png

Provided we know the watermark and it contains no opaque pixels, we can de-watermark it to reconstruct the original. We use algebra from Inverse composites, in particular these equations ...

Da = (Ra - Sa) / (1-Sa)

D  = (R*Ra - S*Sa) / (Ra - Sa)

... where all the variables are in the range 0.0 to 1.0. This calculates Da and D, the alpha and colour channels, which we combine with "-compose CopyOpacity -composite", to reconstruct the original.

De-watermark:

 %IMG7%magick ^
  ( wm_tr_wm.png +write mpr:R -alpha extract ^
    +write mpr:Ra +delete ^
  ) ^
  ( wm_mark.png +write mpr:S -alpha extract ^
    +write mpr:Sa ^
  ) ^
  mpr:S ^
  -alpha off ^
  -gravity Center ^
  -compose Multiply -composite ^
  ( mpr:R mpr:Ra -alpha off -compose Multiply -composite ) ^
  +swap ^
  -alpha off ^
  -compose MinusSrc -composite ^
  ( mpr:Ra ^
    mpr:Sa ^
    -alpha off ^
    -compose MinusSrc -composite ^
    +write mpr:RamSa ^
  ) ^
  -compose DivideSrc -composite ^
  ( mpr:RamSa  ^
    ( mpr:Sa -negate ) ^
    -compose DivideSrc -composite ^
  ) ^
  -alpha Off ^
  -compose CopyOpacity -composite ^
  wm_tr_dewm.png
wm_tr_dewm.png

How close is this de-watermarked image to the original image?

%IMG7%magick compare -metric RMSE ic_tr_src.png wm_tr_dewm.png NULL: 
0.0954275 (1.45613e-06)
%IMG7%magick compare -metric PAE ic_tr_src.png wm_tr_dewm.png NULL: 
1.71052 (2.61009e-05)

Again, this is very close. We have more operations, so rounding has lost more precision.

Deriving a semi-transparent watermark from two images

Above, we calculate a watermark from an un-watermarked image and a watermarked image. This generally has an infinite number of possible solutions. However, if we have two un-watermarked images and the corresponding two watermarked images, we can calculate the unique solution.

Suppose we have two known opaque images ("dest") without a watermark, and a version of each those two images with a watermark ("result"). These four images are the same size. We assume the same unknown watermark, which may have transparency, was used for both, with "-compose Over -composite". The watermark is in the same position in both images.

For a given pixel, and a given channel, let the input ("dest") colour values be D1 and D2, and the result watermarked image colour values be R1 and R2. Let the watermark ("source") colour value be S, and the watermark alpha be Sa.

Then Inverse composites: Opaque inputs gives equations for S and Sa:

S = (R1-D1)/Sa + D1 = (R2-D2)/Sa + D2

Sa = (R1-D1) / (S-D1) = (R2-D2) / (S-D2) (=Sa)

Solve the first equation for Sa:

(R1-D1) + D1*Sa = (R2-D2) + D2*Sa
Sa*(D1-D2) = (R2-D2)-(R1-D1)
           = R2 - R1 + D1 - D2
Sa = (R2 - R1 + D1 - D2) / (D1-D2)

Solve the second equation for S:

(R1-D1) * (S-D2) = (R2-D2) * (S-D1)
S*R1 - S*D1 - D2*R1 + D1*D2 = S*R2 - S*D2 - D1*R2 + D1*D2
S*R1 - S*D1 - D2*R1 = S*R2 - S*D2 - D1*R2
S*R1 - S*D1 - S*R2 + S*D2 =  D2*R1 - D1*R2
S*(R1 - D1 - R2 + D2) = D2*R1 - D1*R2
S = (D2*R1 - D1*R2) / (R1 - D1 - R2 + D2)

These two equations are used by the script findWater2img.bat to calculate the watermark: S gives the pixel colour values, and Sa gives the pixel alphas. If any values S or Sa are outside the range [0..QuantumRange] then no watermark can be calculated.

For an example, we make two different images for watermarking. They should be the same size, but do not need to be related.

%IMG7%magick ^
  toes.png ^
  -evaluate Pow 1.4 ^
  wm_pow1.png
wm_pow1.png
%IMG7%magick ^
  toes.png ^
  -evaluate Pow 0.6 ^
  wm_pow2.png
wm_pow2.png

We apply a watermark to each image:

%IMG7%magick ^
  wm_pow1.png ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -gravity Center ^
  -compose Over ^
    -composite ^
  wm_pow1_w.png
wm_pow1_w.png
%IMG7%magick ^
  wm_pow2.png ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -gravity Center ^
  -compose Over ^
    -composite ^
  wm_pow2_w.png
wm_pow2_w.png

From these four images, we reconstruct the watermark with the script findWater2img.bat:

call %PICTBAT%findWater2img ^
  wm_pow1.png wm_pow2.png ^
  wm_pow1_w.png wm_pow2_w.png ^
  wm_pow_calcwm.png
wm_pow_calcwm.png

We can invert the order of images 1 and 2, to get the same calculated watermark:

call %PICTBAT%findWater2img ^
  wm_pow2.png wm_pow1.png ^
  wm_pow2_w.png wm_pow1_w.png ^
  wm_pow_calcwm21.png
wm_pow_calcwm21.png

Verify that it is the same:

%IMG7%magick compare ^
  -metric RMSE ^
  wm_pow_calcwm21.png wm_pow_calcwm21.png ^
  NULL: 
0 (0)

[No image]

How close is this to the actual watermark used?

%IMG7%magick compare -metric RMSE wm_mark.png wm_pow_calcwm.png -trim NULL: 
0.75482 (1.15178e-05)

The round-trip is accurate (1/65536 is 1.526e-5), and the calculated watermark is very close to the actual watermark.

But we wouldn't normally have access to the actual watermark. We can also check the result by applying the calculated watermark to the original two inputs, and comparing the results to the watermarked inputs.

The calculated watermark accurately re-creates the watermarked images.

Some special cases are of interest.

Special case #1: Values in the two watermarked results are equal

In this case, R1==R2, and the equations simplify to:

Sa = (R2 - R1 + D1 - D2) / (D1-D2)
   = (D1-D2) / (D1-D2)
   = 1 hence fully opaque.

S = (D2*R1 - D1*R2) / (R1 - D1 - R2 + D2)
  = R1*(D2-D1) / (D2-D1)
  = R1, so the watermark colour is either result.

However, when the values in the input images are also equal, then D1==D1, so S and Sa are indeterminate.

For example, we create two images (mirror images of each other), and watermarked versions of them:

%IMG7%magick ^
  -size 150x301 ^
  gradient:#f84-#4f8 ^
  -rotate 90 ^
  +write wm_grad_mark1.png ^
  +write mpr:GRAD ^
  -gravity Center ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  -write wm_grad_mark1_w.png ^
  +delete ^
  mpr:GRAD -flop ^
  +write wm_grad_mark2.png ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  wm_grad_mark2_w.png
wm_grad_mark1.png wm_grad_mark2.png wm_grad_mark1_w.png wm_grad_mark2_w.png

From these four images, we reconstruct the watermark with the script findWater2img.bat:

call %PICTBAT%findWater2img ^
  wm_grad_mark1.png wm_grad_mark2.png ^
  wm_grad_mark1_w.png wm_grad_mark2_w.png ^
  wm_grad_calcwm.png

echo Return code is: %ERRORLEVEL% 
Return code is: 0 
wm_grad_calcwm.png

Pixels in the central column of the calculated watermark are indeterminate, with values outside [0..QuantumRange], and are transparent black in the written PNG file wm_grad_calcwm.png. A further process could identify those pixels and use a hole-filling (aka inpainting) method to correct them.

Special case #2: Values in a watermarked result are unchanged from those in the un-watermarked image

Special case when R1==D1:

Sa = (R2 - D2) / (D1-D2)

S = (D2*D1 - D1*R2) / (- R2 + D2)
  = D1*(D2-R2)/(D2-R2)
  = D1 = R1

If, in addition, R2==D2:

Sa = 0 / (D1-D2)
   = 0

In other words, where the watermark doesn't change pixels, the watermark must be transparent.

Special case #3: Values of one input image are 0 (black) and values of the other are 1 (white)

Special case when values of one input image are 0 (black) and values of the other are 1 (white), so D1 is 0 and D2 is 1:

S = R1 / (R1 - R2 + 1)

Sa = R1 - R2 + 1
   = R1 / S

When the inputs are entirely black and white, this simplifies the IM command. See the script findWaterBW.bat. For example, we make watermarked black and white images:

%IMG7%magick ^
  -size 300x150 ^
  xc:Black ^
  -gravity Center ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  -write wm_bk_mark.png ^
  +delete ^
  xc:White ^
  wm_mark.png ^
  -compose Over -composite ^
  wm_wh_mark.png
wm_bk_mark.png wm_wh_mark.png

From these two images, we reconstruct the watermark with the script findWaterBW.bat:

call %PICTBAT%findWaterBW ^
  wm_bk_mark.png wm_wh_mark.png ^
  wm_pow_calcbw.png
wm_pow_calcbw.png

How close is this to the actual watermark?

%IMG7%magick compare -metric RMSE wm_mark.png wm_pow_calcbw.png -trim NULL: 
0.521761 (7.96156e-06)

The round-trip is accurate, and the calculated watermark is very close to the actual watermark.
