SHield embeds an owner’s image watermark in the spherical-harmonic coefficients of a 4D Gaussian Splatting model and verifies it directly from the model file. A private key selects Gaussians, and anchored optimization reduces rendering changes while preserving a recoverable signal. Across 150 image-payload models, minimum recovery correlation was 0.991; robustness applies to tested file changes, not arbitrary tampering.
