Watermarking 3D objects

by Ryutarou Ohbuchi

This page contains Japanese characters. If you see letters that appears garbled, they are Japanese. I hope to make an "alphabet-clean" version of the page soon.

Contribution solicited

Please submit bibliographical entries regarding watermarking 3D objects that are not listed here. I will add the entries to the following list. If possible, a very brief, say, 80characters by 2-3 lines, description of the paper will be greatly appreciated. Target objects of watermarking could be shape, shape-attributes (e.g., per-vertex color, per-vertex normal vector, etc.), animation parameters, and others. In this context, "3D models" are VRML models, MPEG 4 models, or 3D modeling/animation data from various softwares such as 3D Studio Max and Maya, or 3D geometric CAD/CAM/CAE models, to give several examples.
