Abstract
Data security is a main concern in everyday data transmissions over the Internet. A possible solution to guarantee secure and legitimate transaction is via hiding a piece of tractable information into the multimedia signal, that is, watermarking. In this paper, we propose a new color image watermarking scheme and its corresponding detector in the sparse domain. The watermark detector aims at verifying the ownership and circumventing any unauthorized duplication of the digital data. Most of the existing color image watermarking schemes disregard the inter-channel dependencies. In view of this, we take into account the interchannel dependencies between RGB channels and interscale dependencies of the sparse coefficients of color images by employing the hidden Markov model. An efficient detector is designed by establishing a binary hypothesis test through which the existence of the hidden watermark is examined. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed watermark detector for color images. The results show that the proposed detector provides detection rates higher than those provided by the other detectors, even in the presence of attacks. It is also shown that the proposed detector exhibits better performance in terms of the robustness of the embedded watermark.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
