Can the Watermark Be Extracted from a Damaged Document?

DSC data watermarking is highly robust. Watermarks are not easily removed during transmission or use. Even if the data carrier is tampered with or damaged, there is a high probability that watermarks are extracted.

• If several pages are deleted from a document, the watermarks can still be extracted.
• If an image is rotated, cropped, scaled, or retouched, the watermarks can still be extracted as long as the deformation is small.
