Abstract
Self-verifying hidden digital media using a novel interactive component that reveals a secondary hidden watermark. One method reveals at least one hidden image into a visible image, may include the steps of generating, via a processor, a first image that is visible on a computing device screen; generating, via a processor, at least one second image, the at least one second image being in an invisible or nearly invisible state to the human eye in a neutral state and visible in a user activated state. In one embodiment, the activated state of the computing device is achieved when the computing device screen is zoomed in or out, pointer scrolled in a predetermined way, or when the first image has its window size changed.
Claims5
A computer-implemented method of concealing and revealing at least one hidden image into a visible image, the method comprising:
- generating, via a processor, a first image that is visible on a computing device screen;
- generating, via a processor, at least one second image, the at least one second image being in an invisible or nearly invisible state to the human eye in a neutral state and visible in a user activated state;
- and
- wherein the activated state of the computing device is achieved when the computing device screen is zoomed in or out, pointer scrolled in a predetermined way, or when the first image has its window size changed.
A computer-implemented method of concealing and revealing at least one image, the method comprising, in order:
- submitting a source image;
- adjusting, changing the source/input image resolution or changing dimensions to match the White/Color Noise Interference Pattern having about 50% overall density so as to appear the same to the naked eye when inverted;
- setting the source image as base layer;
- applying an interference pattern as top layer above the source image;
- selecting all black pixels then using this selection to invert the source image, wherein the pixels are at least one of linear, rectangular, square, hexagonal, or any other repeating shape-based pattern array and wherein the pixels are LED RGB sub-pixels that make up the construction of a display screen;
- applying a second interference pattern or image;
- and
- flattening the image.
