Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of creating an animation from a plurality of latent images encoded into a visible image, the encoded visible image being visually similar to the visible image when viewed with a naked eye, the method comprising: generating, via a processor, a first latent image having a first pattern of elements; assigning a first encoding parameter to the first pattern of elements; generating a second latent image having a second pattern of elements; assigning a second encoding parameter to the second pattern of elements, the second encoding parameter being different than the first encoding parameter; embedding the first pattern of elements and the second pattern of elements in the encoded visible image; decoding the first pattern of elements and the second pattern of elements using a decoder having decoding parameters that match the corresponding first encoding parameter and the second encoding parameter; and sequentially displaying the decoded first latent image and the decoded second latent image to reveal the animation.
