  • System and method for embedding of a two dimensional code with an image
    Patent number: 10817971
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for embedding a graphic image representation into a two dimensional matrix code by modifying the characteristic values of individual pixels in the image according the values of a provided two dimensional matrix code image. The modified character pixel values are determined using an optimization procedure that minimizes a visual distortion with respect to the original graphic image representation while maintaining the value of a probability of error model below a specified limit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020

  • System and method for embedding a two dimensional code in video images
    Patent number: 10614540
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for embedding a graphic representation into a two dimensional matrix code by modifying the luminance of individual pixels in the image according the values of a provided QR code image. The modified luminance values are determined by an optimization procedure which minimizes a visual distortion metric with respect to the original graphic representation while maintaining the value of a model for the probability of decoding and detection error below a specified limit.
