Abstract
A watermark image is stylized using a neural network. Stylization can employ a composite loss function in which a content loss term is based on image similarity to the watermark image itself, rather than based on similarity to layer activations produced by the neural network. The composite loss function may further avoid use of mean-squared error in connection with content loss, to allow the network freedom to produce a stylized image having a mean luma value that is remote from a mean luma value of the watermark image. An exemplary application generates texture patterns that simulate leather, yet convey plural-symbol payloads. Many other features and arrangements are also detailed.
