Abstract
Machine-readable optical markers may be presented on a surface of a shelf, on a display device, or on a structure. Markers are presented as an array of graphical elements arranged in rows and columns. The graphical elements in the array of the mark utilize color and placement to encode marker data. In addition, a source image graphic may also be blended with a portion of the graphical elements in the array to create a blended image. In other embodiments, the marker may be presented with one or more borders surrounding the perimeter of the graphical elements in the array. The marker data may be presented using infrared light with a visible light layer presented over the array of graphical elements.
