TRACE: Structure-Aware Character Encoding for Robust and Generalizable Document Watermarking

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.12873v1 Announce Type: new We propose TRACE, a structure-aware framework leveraging diffusion models for localized character encoding to embed data. Unlike existing methods that rely on edge features or pre-defined codebooks, TRACE exploits character structures that provide inherent resistance to noise interference due to their stability and unified representation across diverse characters.
