Improved Method of Detecting Data in Data-Embedded Printed Image Considering Mobile Devices

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved method of embedding and detecting data in a printed image using a camera of a mobile device. The proposed method is based on the data diffusion method. We discuss several problems in the conventional lens distortion correction method. In addition, the possibility of using multiple captured images by employing a motion-image-capturing technique is also examined. A method of selecting captured images that are expected to obtain a high detection rate is also proposed. From the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method is effective for improving data detection.
