Abstract

In one aspect, the technology processes image data depicting a physical object to extract payload data that is encoded on the object in the form of tiled code blocks. The payload data is encoded in conjunction with an associated reference signal. To account for possible inversion of the imagery, the decoding includes determining spatial correspondence between the image data and the reference signal. A patch of the image data smaller than the block size is then selected, and correlated with a spatially-corresponding patch of the reference signal. From the correlation it may be concluded that the chosen patch exhibits inversion. In such case a subset of the image data is adjusted prior to decoding to compensate for the inversion. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
