The hardcoded carrier positions (48,0), (96,0), (0,88) etc. had low phase coherence on actual Gemini images (~0.16-0.55). Detection was 80% on reference images with 100% false positive rate on non-watermarked images. Root cause analysis across 291 watermarked + 16 non-watermarked images revealed: 1. The watermark is content-adaptive — dark images use diagonal-grid carriers at (±3,±4), (±5,±3) etc. while white images use horizontal- axis carriers at (0,±7), (0,±8), (0,±9) etc. 2. Both sets have >0.95 intra-set phase coherence and >0.5 discriminative gap vs non-watermarked images. 3. Previous metrics (noise correlation, structure ratio bounds, raw carrier magnitude) had heavy overlap between watermarked and non-watermarked content images and were not discriminative. Changes: - Replace carrier list with empirically verified dark + white carrier sets - Add per-set reference phase templates to codebook (carrier_refs) - Rewrite detect_array to try both carrier sets and take best phase match - Use phase agreement as primary signal (WM: 0.92-0.99 vs non-WM: 0.47-0.71) - Add noise-domain carrier-vs-random ratio as supporting signal - Skip expensive multi-scale consistency computation (phase match is decisive) Results on full dataset: - Watermarked: 99.0% detection (was ~80%) - Non-watermarked: 0% false positives (was 100%) - Overall: 98.7% accuracy (was ~80% with no FP testing) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
