- Agent-driven blind invisible-image-watermark removal framework that ranks publicly available watermark decoders as proxy boundary estimators to attack watermarks without access to the target scheme.

- An academic research method (arXiv, submitted 2026-10-08) for blind removal of invisible image watermarks in the wild.
- distinctFrom
- Closest is marknull (model-agnostic latent decorrelation for diffusion watermarks) and drift-watermark-attack (black-box re-noising plus resampling); ProxyEraseAgent's distinct mechanism is an agent that selects and ranks public decoders as proxy boundary estimators, targeting practicality against unknown watermark schemes.
- notes
- Submitted 2026-10-08. No code link on the arXiv page, so access is 'free' (paper only) following the marknull precedent. The abstract states a 94.8% attack success rate across 11 watermarking systems; this is the paper's own claim, not independently replicated. Academic research method, not a shipped tool.
