Thank you for citing our works. "Image watermarks that meet all three criteria belong to a family of watermarking called “Deep Watermarking”" I would disagree. Deep watermarking simply means watermarking based on deep learning networks, in contrast to traditional `hand-crafted' watermarking schemes from the 2000s (which already obtained good results in imperceptibility, robustness and capacity).

Thanks for your feedback Teddy. I've updated the formulation which was, as you pointed out, a bit strong.

On the handcrafted watermarks note, do you have some references to share about handcrafted methods meeting all criteria? I think most of us may have a wrong outlook on hancrafted methods (e.g. stock photo watermarks that are not robust nor imperceptible)?

I would recommend the `Bible of watermarking': the book "Digital watermarking and steganography" co-authored by I. Cox, M. Miller, J. Bloom, J. Fridrich and T. Kalker. https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780123725851/digital-watermarking-and-steganography
