Victor KuznetsovandClaude Opus 5 37789e02f6 Vectorize the DWT-DCT decode path, 15x on the decoder
Output stays bit-identical: decoder bits and detector verdicts recorded over
200 sampled data/ images plus two synthesized carriers before and after, and
the record is byte-identical.

Measured on a 1536x2816 image -- decoder 0.280s to 0.016s, warm identify()
1.757s to 1.365s with both arms timed in one process.

Code provenance

This page records notices required by source dependencies and licensed derivative work.

Licensed derivative work

  • The DWT-DCT implementation derives from ShieldMnt's invisible-watermark, licensed under MIT. Its notice ships in src/remove_ai_watermarks/licenses/invisible-watermark-MIT.txt. The decode path is a vectorized reformulation, not a transcription: it produces the same bits and is checked against upstream's own decoder, but it no longer corresponds line by line to imwatermark/maxDct.py. Diffing the two files will show structurally different code, which is expected and does not mean the derivation notice is stale.

Licensed test fixtures

  • data/fixtures/provenance/adobe-trustmark-p.png is Adobe's official TrustMark Variant P example, licensed under MIT. Its source commit, digest, and reproduced license are recorded beside the fixture in data/fixtures/README.md and data/licenses/adobe-trustmark-MIT.txt.
