Investigation of Information Embedding Method in Pattern by Artificial Fiber Pattern

Abstract

We have proposed an artificial fiber pattern as a technique for embedding electrical information into the real world. In recent studies, we tried to extract embedded information in an artificial fiber pattern using a high-resolution digital camera instead of a scanner. In this paper, we attempted to use a relatively inexpensive and low-resolution web camera as an input device because one of the important applications of our technique is an augmented reality system. In addition, from a design perspective, we examined different colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) instead of the grayscale, and a specific pattern (a traditional Japanese katagami pattern for a kimono (i.e., Ise-katagami)) instead of a paper fiber pattern.
