StegaStamp: Invisible Hyperlinks in Physical Photographs
Printed and digitally displayed photos have the ability to hide imperceptible digital data that can be accessed through internet-connected imaging systems. Another way to think about this is physical photographs that have unique QR codes invisibly embedded within them. This paper presents an architecture, algorithms, and a prototype implementation addressing this vision. Our key technical contribution is StegaStamp, a learned steganographic algorithm to enable robust encoding and decoding of arbitrary hyperlink bitstrings into photos in a manner that approaches perceptual invisibility. StegaStamp comprises a deep neural network that learns an encoding/decoding algorithm robust to image perturbations approximating the space of distortions resulting from real printing and photography. We demonstrates real-time decoding of hyperlinks in photos from in-the-wild videos that contain variation in lighting, shadows, perspective, occlusion and viewing distance. Our prototype system robustly retrieves 56 bit hyperlinks after error correction - sufficient to embed a unique code within every photo on the internet.

Robust Invisible Hyperlinks in Physical Photographs Based on 3D Rendering Attacks
In the era of multimedia and Internet, people are eager to obtain information from offline to online. Quick Response (QR) codes and digital watermarks help us access information quickly. However, QR codes look ugly and i…
DecoderWatermark Overwriting Attack on StegaStamp algorithm
This paper presents an attack method on the StegaStamp watermarking algorithm that completely removes watermarks from an image with minimal quality loss, developed as part of the NeurIPS "Erasing the invisible" competiti…
Learning Invisible Markers for Hidden Codes in Offline-to-Online Photography
QR (quick response) codes are widely used as an offline-to-online channel to convey information (e.g., links) from publicity materials (e.g., display and print) to mobile devices. However, QR Codes are not favorable …
DBDH: A Dual-Branch Dual-Head Neural Network for Invisible Embedded Regions Localization
Embedding invisible hyperlinks or hidden codes in images to replace QR codes has become a hot topic recently. This technology requires first localizing the embedded region in the captured photos before decoding. Existing…
Removing Watermarks with Partial Regeneration using Semantic Information
As AI-generated imagery becomes ubiquitous, invisible watermarks have emerged as a primary line of defense for copyright and provenance. The newest watermarking schemes embed semantic signals - content-aware patterns tha…
