A Benchmark for 3D Mesh Watermarking

This paper presents a benchmarking system for the evaluation of robust mesh watermarking methods. The proposed benchmark has three different components: a ''standard'' mesh model collection, a software tool and two application-oriented evaluation protocols. The software tool integrates both geometric and perceptual measurements of the distortion induced by watermark embedding, and also the implementation of a variety of attacks on watermarked meshes. The two evaluation protocols define the main steps to follow when conducting the evaluation experiments. The efficiency of the benchmark is demonstrated through the evaluation and comparison of two recent robust algorithms.
