Abstract
The present disclosure relates to signal decoding and icon (e.g., a logo, shape, icon, etc.) detection. One aspect includes a method comprising: obtaining an image frame depicting a physical object, the physical object comprising an graphical icon printed thereon, the graphical icon comprising first signal encoding, the physical object comprising second signal encoding that does not overlap the first signal encoding, in which the first signal encoding comprises a first identifier and the second signal encoding comprising a second identifier, in which the first identifier comprises a different identifier relative to the second identifier; analyzing image data associated with the image frame to detect presence of the graphical icon, in which said analyzing determines orientation information associated with the graphical icon; providing the orientation information to an encoded signal detector, the encoded signal detector utilizing the orientation information as a geometric reference to detect the first signal encoding to obtain the first identifier; and using the first identifier, initiating a response for display on a display screen. Other aspects, combinations and implementations are described as well.
