Tree-Ring Watermarks: Fingerprints for Diffusion Images that are Invisible and Robust (Explained)

#stablediffusion #ai #watermark

Watermarking the outputs of generative models is usually done as a post-processing step on the model outputs. Tree-Ring Watermarks are applied in the latent space at the beginning of a diffusion process, which makes them nearly undetectable, robust to strong distortions, and only recoverable by the model author. It is a very promising technique with applications potentially beyond watermarking itself.
