Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to data hiding for retail product packaging and other printed objects such as substrates. One embodiment embeds an information signal in a spot color for printing on various substrates. The spot color is screened, and overprinted with process color tint. The tint is modulated prior to overprinting with optimized signal tweaks. The optimization can include consideration of a detector spectral dependency (e.g., red and/or green illumination). Many other embodiments and combinations are described in the subject patent document.

Abstract: In some arrangements, product packaging is digitally watermarked over most of its extent to facilitate high-throughput item identification at retail checkouts. Imagery captured by conventional or plenoptic cameras can be processed (e.g., by GPUs) to derive several different perspective-transformed views—further minimizing the need to manually reposition items for identification. Crinkles and other deformations in product packaging can be optically sensed, allowing such surfaces to be virtually flattened to aid identification. Piles of items can be 3D-modelled and virtually segmented into geometric primitives to aid identification, and to discover locations of obscured items. Other data (e.g., including data from sensors in aisles, shelves and carts, and gaze tracking for clues about visual saliency) can be used in assessing identification hypotheses about an item. Logos may be identified and used—or ignored—in product identification. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract: Object recognition by point-of-sale camera systems is aided by first removing perspective distortion. Yet pose of the object—relative to the system—depends on actions of the operator, and is usually unknown. Multiple trial counter-distortions to remove perspective distortion can be attempted, but the number of such trials is limited by the frame rate of the camera system—which limits the available processing interval. One embodiment of the present technology examines historical image data to determine counter-distortions that statistically yield best object recognition results. Similarly, the system can analyze historical data to learn what sub-parts of captured imagery most likely enable object recognition. A set-cover strategy is desirably used. In some arrangements, the system identifies different counter-distortions, and image sub-parts, that work best with different clerk- and customer-operators of the system, and processes captured imagery accordingly. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

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.

Abstract: A retail checkout system decodes machine-readable indicia from a composite image frame produced from a sequence of captured image frames. Different regions in the composite image are derived from different ones of the image frames in the captured sequence. Another embodiment generates a composite image frame from image frames captured with different camera focus settings. Still other embodiments concern neural networks, including their training to segment different items presented on a retail checkout surface. Other neural network embodiments discern on which of two items a machine readable indicia appears, when the visual context is ambiguous. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
