Abstract: A method for sculpting a template 3D model comprises receiving (12) a deformation to be applied to the template 3D model. In response to the received deformation, at least one action is executed (13) on at least the template 3D model or a reference 3D model. Such an action uses a set of dependency data representing interrelations between the reference 3D model and the template 3D model, the action(s) providing a user with a corrective feedback on the deformation to be applied, that feedback being adapted to enable the user to avoid exceeding deformation bounds in applying the deformation. The user sculpting the template 3D model can thus be guided during the modeling process.

Abstract: A particular implementation selects two or more fiducial markers to be embedded into a video to convey information. Specifically, the translation, scaling and rotation between a reference marker and a secondary marker can be used to transmit information. When more information needs to be embedded, more secondary markers can be used. The transformation between the fiducial markers can also evolve over time as the information to be embedded evolves over time. At the receiving side, a reader device captures a video including multiple fiducial markers and determines the translation, scaling and rotation between the fiducial markers. Based on the transformation of the fiducial markers, the reader device can retrieve the information embedded in the captured video by the fiducial markers.
