We consider the potential implications of recent developments in subfoelds of image analysis and image representation for watermarking and steganography. We consider three rapidly developing subfields. 1. Natural Scene Statistics;2. Level Set Image Processing and Geometric Diffusion; and 3. Computational Harmonic Analysis. Each of threesubfields has recently claimed progress as implicitly or explicitly identifying invariants of real images. Such invariants are potential tools for studyng the effects of watermarking or steganography in an image. We briefly survey these three subfilds, give several examples of such invariants and explore the effects of model watermarking schemes on such invariants.
