Abstract:
1. An automated method for digitally encoding at least one digital image into a source image so that the at least one digital image is not discernible within the source image without application of a reader having a frequency pattern, the method comprising: obtaining the at least one digital image having a first pattern of line elements, the first pattern of line elements corresponding to the selected frequency pattern of the reader; obtaining the source image having a second pattern of line elements; applying an encoding algorithm to incorporate the at least one digital image into the source image; and generating a revised source image comprising the first pattern of line elements and the second pattern of line elements, wherein the revised source image substantially replicates the source image when viewed without the reader, and wherein the first pattern of line elements are configured in the revised source image to be hidden until viewed with the reader having the selected frequency pattern.
