Abstract

Example implementations relate to using an auxiliary image to identify an image analysis mechanism associated with a main image. For example, a computing device may include a processor and an image capture device. The processor may capture with the image capture device a representation of a combined image. The combined image may include a main image and an auxiliary image. The processor may also identify the auxiliary image in the representation of the combined image and decode the identified auxiliary image via an auxiliary image decoding mechanism to determine image analysis mechanism identification information associated with the main image. The processor may further determine, based on the image analysis mechanism identification information, a main image analysis mechanism useable to determine an identifier associated with the main image. The auxiliary image decoding mechanism is different than the main image analysis mechanism.
