In this paper an objective metric to measure the perceptual quality of watermarked 3D meshes is presented. The metric relies on a multiscale measurement of the roughness of 3D meshes before and after the watermark insertion. The validity of the proposed metric has been tested against a number of different 3D watermarking algorithms, showing an excellent match with the subjective evaluation of the quality derived from pshycovisual experiments.
