Tools for testing image watermarking software
StirMark Benchmark Given a watermarked image, StirMark will apply a set of transformations with various parameters. Then the output images can be tested with watermark detection or extraction programs.

Checkmark Watermark Benchmarking The checkmark watermark benchmarking project was initiated in order to attempt to better evaluate watermarking technologies..

Optimark Optimark is a benchmarking tool for still image watermarking algorithms that was developed in the Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis Laboratory at the Department of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
