This paper presents a contribution in matter of robustness of a previous method of 3D objects watermarking [10] based on wavelet decomposition on semi-regular triangular meshes. This decomposition gives rise to a multiresolution mesh where the watermark could be embedded at each level of resolution, in this case we talk about a hierarchical watermarking. In practice the robustness of the previous method against geometrical attacks was high only in the low resolution which makes it far from being a hierarchical method. Our analysis made on the fragility of that method allowed us to reveal the cause which was not primarily the bad bits quantization of the watermark, but rather the alteration of the sequencing of the embedded bits (synchronization). Our contribution is to replace the previous geometrical mechanism with a new topological synchronization mechanism, which has resulted a real hierarchical and robust watermarking.
