  • PDF embedder for artwork elements with PDF files
    Patent number: 11962733
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to signal encoding for elements within PDF files. One implementation encodes an artwork element under different encoding conditions, and selects a winner version based on resulting signal robustness and/or visibility. Other implementations generate PDF layer masks to help determine overall embedding robustness, including interference from layered elements. Other implementations are provided too.

  • Detecting conflicts between multiple different signals within imagery
    Patent number: 11676238
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to image signal processing technology including signal encoding. One claim recites a method of detecting plural-bit code conflicts within an image, the image includes at least one color separation. The image includes a first plural-bit code carried by a first symbology, and a second plural-bit code carried by a second symbology, the first symbology and the second symbology comprising different symbology types. The method includes: accessing a subset of the image that comprises the first plural-bit code carried by the first symbology; analyzing the subset of the image to decode the first plural-bit code; analyzing the at least one color separation to spatially locate and decode the second plural-bit code carried by the second symbology; comparing the first plural-bit code and the second plural-bit code; and outputting information if a conflict is identified by said act of comparing, in which the information comprises a spatial location within the image of the conflict.

  • Encoded signal systems and methods to ensure minimal robustness
    Patent number: 11336795
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to advanced signal processing technology including signal encoding and image processing. One implementation describes an encoding system including a masking module. The masking module scales or eliminates signal encoding adjustments based on an image's luminance or chrominance values. Of course, other implementations, combinations and claims are also provided.

  • GENERATING AND READING OPTICAL CODES WITH VARIABLE DENSITY TO ADAPT FOR VISUAL QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
    Publication number: 20220004727
    Abstract: The parameters of an optical code are optimized to achieve improved signal robustness, reliability, capacity and/or visual quality. An optimization program can determine spatial density, dot distance, dot size and signal component priority to optimize robustness. An optical code generator employs these parameters to produce an optical code at the desired spatial density and robustness. The optical code is merged into a host image, such as imagery, text and graphics of a package or label, or it may be printed by itself, e.g., on an otherwise blank label or carton. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
