Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure can include devices for storing and exchanging color space encoded images. The encoded images can store input data into high capacity multi-colored composite two-dimensional pictures having different symbols organized in specific order using sets in a color space. The encoding can include performing two-level error correction and generating frames based on the color space for formatting and calibrating the encoded images during decoding. The decoding can use the frames to perform color restoration and distortion correction. The decoding can be based on a pseudo-Euclidean distance between a distorted color and a color in a color calibration cells. In some embodiments, an encoded image can be further divided into sub-images during encoding for simplified distortion correction.

Claims (16)

1. A computer-implemented method for correcting distortion in an encoded data image capture, the method comprising:

locating one or more frames adjacent to an encoded data image having colored cells corresponding to a stream of integers encoding data;

determining one or more curves, the one or more curves fitting frames in the one or more frames, the one or more curves defining an area of the encoded data image;

mapping the area of the encoded data image defined by the one or more curves onto a rectangle based at least in part on the one or more curves; and

correcting distortion in the encoded data image capture by straightening the encoded data image based at least in part on the mapping.

2. A system for correcting distortion in an encoded data image capture, the system comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

locate one or more frames adjacent to an encoded data image having colored cells corresponding to a stream of integers encoding data;

determine one or more curves, the one or more curves fitting frames in the one or more frames, the one or more curves defining an area of the encoded data image;

map the area of the encoded data image defined by the one or more curves onto a rectangle based at least in part on the one or more curves; and

correct distortion in the encoded data image capture by straightening the encoded data image based at least in part on the mapping.

3. A non-transitory computer program product for correcting distortion in an encoded data image capture, the non-transitory computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium, the non-transitory computer program product including instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:

locate one or more frames adjacent to an encoded data image having colored cells corresponding to a stream of integers encoding data;

determine one or more curves, the one or more curves fitting frames in the one or more frames, the one or more curves defining an area of the encoded data image;

map the area of the encoded data image defined by the one or more curves onto a rectangle based at least in part on the one or more curves; and

correct distortion in the encoded data image capture by straightening the encoded data image based at least in part on the mapping.
