Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein for obtaining an image, wherein the image includes a digital watermark that embeds metadata associated with at least one object in the image, and wherein the metadata comprises an indication of a location of the at least one object in the image. The embedded metadata may be extracted based on the digital watermark. Based on the extracted metadata, a portion of the image corresponding to the location of the at least one object in the image may be caused to be selectable to access supplemental information related to the at least one object.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining an image comprising a plurality of objects and a plurality of digital watermarks, wherein for each respective object of the plurality of objects, a digital watermark of the plurality of digital watermarks embeds metadata corresponding to the respective object at a portion of the image that is in a vicinity of a location of the respective object in the image;
- extracting, based on a first digital watermark of the plurality of digital watermarks that is in a vicinity of a first location of a first object of the plurality of objects, metadata corresponding to the first object;
- and
- based on the extracted metadata, causing the portion of the image that is in the vicinity of the first location of the first object in the image to be selectable to access supplemental information related to the respective object.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying an image comprising a plurality of objects, wherein each respective object of the plurality of objects is selectable to access supplemental information related to the respective object;
- modifying the image by applying a first digital watermark of a plurality of digital watermarks to the image to cause metadata to be embedded into the image, wherein the metadata comprises an indication of a first location of a first object of the plurality of objects in the image, and wherein modifying the image enables:
- extracting, from a captured image of the modified image captured using a camera or based on a screen capture of the modified image, the metadata embedded in the modified image based on the applied first digital watermark;
- and
- based on the metadata extracted from the captured image, causing a portion of the captured image that is in a vicinity of the first location of the first object to be selectable to access the supplemental information related to the first object.
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- obtain an image comprising a plurality of objects and a plurality of digital watermarks, wherein for each respective object of the plurality of objects, a digital watermark of the plurality of digital watermarks embeds metadata corresponding to the respective object at a portion of the image that is in a vicinity of a location of the respective object in the image;
- control circuitry configured to:
- extract, based on a first digital watermark of the plurality of digital watermarks that is in a vicinity of a first location of a first object of the plurality of objects, metadata corresponding to the first object;
- and
- based on the extracted metadata, cause the portion of the image that is in the vicinity of the first location of the first object in the image to be selectable to access supplemental information related to the respective object.
