## Summary

This dataset includes two newly synthesized visible watermark datasets in the TIFS 2025 paper: ***New Visible Watermark Protection Mechanism Based on Information Hiding***

[***Paper***](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11095771) / [***Code***](https://github.com/Aitchson-Hwang/adversarial_visible_watermarking)

intended for:

--- *Watermark Protection / Data Copyright and Ownership Verification / Watermark Removal / Robust Watermark Detection / Blind Watermark Localization / Other related tasks*

## Dataset Partitioning

There are **two dataset**:

1. **LOGO-Multi**:  
   - Contains images with **multiple grayscale and colored watermarks**  
   - Watermarks vary in **size, position**, and **transparency**

2. **LOGO-Full**:  
   - Contains images where **a single watermark covers the entire image content**
   - Watermarks vary in different watermarked images

Each subset includes:
- **12,000 training samples**
- **2,000 testing samples**

These two new datasets are constructed based on the LOGO-series datasets described in:  
*Cun X, Pun C M. “Split then refine: Stacked attention-guided ResUNets for blind single image visible watermark removal.” AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. 2021, 35(2): 1184–1192.*

## Dataset Contents

Each sample includes:

- **Watermarked image**
- **Watermark**
- **Mask**
- **Original image**
