LKAW: a robust watermarking method based on large kernel convolution and adaptive weight assignment by Zhang, Xiaorui, Jiang, Rui, Sun, Wei, Song, Aiguo, Wei, Xindong, Meng, Ruohan

“…Because the magnitude and convergence rates of each loss function are different, an adaptive loss weight assignment strategy is proposed to make the weights participate in the network training together and adjust the weight dynamically. Further, a high-frequency wavelet loss is proposed, by which the watermarking is restricted to only the low-frequency wavelet sub-bands, thereby enhancing the robustness of watermarking against image compression. …”
