Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to digital watermarking and signal encoding. Various colors can be evaluated and modified to carry an encoded or auxiliary signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing method comprising:\n for each of a set of pixels from a digital image, accessing candidate pixel changes to help carry an encoded signal, the pixel changes corresponding to +/\u2212n increments of an ink percentage for a first color ink, wherein n is an integer, said accessing considers a perceptual error per pixel associated with each pixel change; determining which of the pixel changes fall within an allowable visibility threshold, said determining identifying a subset of pixel changes; reducing the number of pixel changes within the subset of pixel changes according to minimum and maximum percent (%) dot press limits, said reducing yielding remaining pixel changes; weighting the remaining pixel changes according to color weights to yield weighted pixel changes; and evaluating at least one of the weighted pixel changes relative to printing press constraints to identify a weighted pixel change associated with a pixel, the weighted pixel change used to alter the digital image to help carry the encoded signal.
