Abstract
The neural radiance field (NeRF) has demonstrated significant advancements in computer vision. However, the training process for NeRF models necessitates extensive computational resources and ample training data. In the event of unauthorized usage or theft of the model, substantial losses can be incurred by the copyright holder. To address this concern, we present a novel algorithm that leverages the implicit neural representation (INR) watermarking technique to safeguard NeRF model copyrights. By encoding the watermark information implicitly, we integrate its parameters into the NeRF model’s network using a unique key. Through this key, the copyright owner can extract the embedded watermarks from the NeRF model for ownership verification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the pioneering implementation of INR watermarking for the protection of NeRF model copyrights. Our experimental results substantiate that our approach not only offers robustness and preserves high-quality 3D reconstructions but also ensures the flawless (100%) extraction of watermark content, thereby effectively securing the copyright of the NeRF model.
