    Abstract: Steganographic calibration signals (sometimes termed “orientation signals,” “marker signals,” reference signals,” “grid signals,” etc.) are sometimes included with digital watermarking signals so that subsequent distortion of the object thereby marked (e.g., a digital image file, audio clip, document, etc.) can later be discerned and compensated-for. Digital watermark detection systems sometimes fail if the object encompasses several separately-watermarked components (e.g., a scanned magazine page with several different images, or photocopy data resulting from scanning while several documents are on the photocopier platen). Each component may include its own calibration signal, confusing the detection system. In accordance with certain embodiments, this problem is addressed by a proximity-based approach, and/or a multiple grid-based approach. In accordance with other embodiments, the calibration signal can—itself—convey watermark information, so it serves both a calibration and a payload-conveyance function.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the methods of estimation and recovering of general affine geometrical transformations which were applied to data, extensible to any other defined class of geometrical transformations, according to the preamble of the dependent claims. The parameters of the undergone deformation are robustly estimated based on maxima given by a parametric transform such as Hough transform or Radon transform of some embedded information with periodical or any other known regular structure. The main applications of this invention are robust digital still image/video watermarking, document authentication, and detection of periodical or hidden patterns. In the case of periodical watermarks, the watermark can also be predistorted before embedding based on a key to defeat block-by-block removal attack.

    Abstract: The present invention relate generally to signal encoding and decoding. One claim recites a method comprising: obtaining color image data or color video data, the color image data or color video data comprising an encoded signal pattern, the encoded signal pattern aiding detection of an encoded message, the pattern comprising first frequency components and second frequency components, the color image data or color video data comprising first color data and second color data, in which the first color data comprises the first frequency components encoded therein, and the second color data comprises the second frequency components encoded therein; combining the first color data and the second color data, said combining yielding combined color data; utilizing one or more processors or electronic processing circuitry, detecting the encoded signal pattern from the combined color data, said detecting yielding rotation and scale information; and using the rotation and scale information to detect the encoded message from the combined color data. Of course, other combinations and claims are provided too.
