  • Publication number: 20220301094
    Abstract: Variable data printing workflows are enhanced for use with content that includes 2D code patterns, such as digital watermark data. One arrangement includes applying a filter to a content stream within a PDF document to extract both first variable pattern data for a first watermark pattern and second variable pattern data for a second watermark pattern. A first composite watermark pattern is then defined based on the extracted first variable watermark pattern data in conjunction with static watermark pattern data, and a second composite watermark pattern is defined based on the extracted second variable watermark pattern data in conjunction with the static watermark pattern data. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

  • Publication number: 20070222652
    Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for replacing a portion of a digital signal by applying a first difference correction that, after range limiting, converts the samples in the replacement portion to extremum values; then applying a second difference correction based on the difference between the extremum values and the desired replacement values. The first and second sets of correction values are thus independent of the original values in the first digital signal.

  • Patent number: 6804377
    Abstract: The present invention relates to detecting steganographically hiding images and information. In a preferred embodiment, an image is hidden within a media signal. The media preferably includes a cyan (C) color plane, a magenta (M) color plane, a yellow (Y) color plane and a black (K) color plane. In an alternative embodiment, the media includes a spot color. The image is converted into a black color channel image and is then applied to the media's K channel. The black channel image is inverted and the inverted image is applied to the media's CMY (or spot) color planes. For detection, the embedded media is illuminated with infrared light, which emphasizes the black color plane. An input device captures a digital image of the illuminated media. The image is detected or displayed based on the emphasized black plane.

  • Patent number: 6763123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to detecting digital watermarks. In a preferred embodiment, media is embedded with a digital watermark component. The media includes a cyan color plane, a magenta color plane, a yellow color plane, and a black color plane. The digital watermark component is embedded in the cyan, magenta, and yellow color planes. The digital watermark component is inverted and is embedded in the black color plane. The embedded media is illuminated with infrared light, which emphasizes the black color plane. An input device captures a digital image of the illuminated media. The digital watermark component is detected from the emphasized black plane.

  • Publication number: 20010040979
    Abstract: Watermark and pattern detection can be improved by compensating for artifacts introduced into an image by a printer and/or scanner through which the image has passed. With the present invention, prior to watermark or pattern detection, the image is filtered or modified to compensate for artifacts introduced by the printer and/or scanner. Some scanners automatically compensate for artifacts introduced by the scanner by using a calibrated tone map. The automatic compensation provides an image from which, a watermark can be easily read. However, generally the user is provided with an interface which can be used to change certain parameters such contrast and intensity. The changes made by the user change the compensation (i.e. the tone map) applied to the image. If the user changes the compensation applied to the image it can affect the ability to read the watermark.
