A robust 3D mesh watermarking scheme against cropping

Various watermarking schemes achieved the robustness against the usual operations such as simplification, remeshing and noise addition. However, the techniques were not robust against cropping, nevertheless the cropping attack is commonly performed by general editing. In this paper, we propose a robust 3D mesh watermarking method against cropping. We achieve the blind watermarking scheme involving consistent segmentation and the scheme improves the robustness against cropping. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves higher performance than the previous 3D mesh watermarking methods.
