Claim:
An object including a printed information device, comprising: a printing medium; and the printed information device printed on the printing medium, the printed information device including: a non-natural image of pre-selected color tiles; a region of interest of the image, the region of interest representing a physical area of the image; at least two channels assigned in the region of interest by different means of logical partitioning, each of the at least two channels having different error tolerances and being associated with a distinct hue data reading strategy, each of the distinct hue data reading strategies including a hue-opponency pair axis by which a hue of the region of interest is to be interpreted, wherein each error tolerance is a degree of deviation from the hue-opponency pair axis that is allowed to occur during reading of a corresponding one of the at least two channels; and at least one of continuous or cyclic hue information independently encoded in each of the at least two channels, the hue information based on and corresponding with the hue distinct data reading strategy for each of the at least two channels; wherein the printed information device is configured to be read substantially simultaneously by the at least two distinct hue data reading strategies.
