Abstract
A computer-implemented method for creating an encoder-decoder system for embedding information in a decorative label. The method includes defining a family of encoder functions and a family of decoder functions. Each encoder function of the family of encoder functions configured to encode information as a respective modification of a decorative label. Each decoder function of the family of decoder functions configured to decode an image of a modified decorative label into respective decoded information. The method includes applying an iterative optimization process to determine an optimized encoder-decoder pair. The optimized encoder-decoder air includes an optimized encoder function and an optimized decoder function. The optimized encoder function is selected by the iterative optimization process from the family of encoder functions and the optimized decoder function is selected by the iterative optimization process from the family of decoder functions.
