Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting and decoding a visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark. A watermark detection apparatus determines whether the particular image includes a visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark using detector a machine learning model. If the watermark detection apparatus detects a watermark, the particular image is routed to a watermark decoder. If the watermark detection apparatus cannot detect a watermark in the particular image, the particular image is filtered from further processing. The watermark decoder decodes the visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark detected in the particular image. After decoding, an item depicted in the particular image is validated based data extracted from the decoded visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark.
