A Dual Blind Watermarking Method for 3D Models Based on Normal Features

Digital watermarking technology is an important means to effectively protect three-dimensional (3D) model data. Among them, "blind detection" and "robustness" are key and difficult points in the current research of digital watermarking technology based on 3D models. In order to realize the blind detection of a watermark and improve its robustness against various common attacks at the same time, this paper proposes a dual blind watermarking method based on the normal feature of the centroid of first-ring neighboring points. The local spherical coordinate system is constructed by calculating two different normal vectors, and the first pattern watermark and the second random binary sequence watermark are embedded, respectively. The experimental results show that this method can not only realize the blind detection of dual watermarks, but also have the ability to resist common attacks such as translation, rotation, scaling, cropping, simplification, smoothing, noise, and vertex reordering to a certain extent.
