A method is provided for decoding an encoded point matrix image including a first set of real grid points aligned along a first axis, a second set of real grid points aligned along a second axis intersecting the first axis, and a plurality of encoded data points distributed throughout the encoded point matrix image. The method includes: locating the first and second axes according to a first predetermined principle; finding a set of virtual grid points according to a second predetermined principle, each of the virtual grid points being located at an intersection of a corresponding first virtual line parallel to the first axis and a corresponding second virtual line parallel to the second axis; and decoding each of the encoded data points based on positional relation thereof with a closest one of the virtual grid points so as to obtain information encoded in the encoded point matrix image.
