Signal Embedding and Detection using Circular Structures in a Transform Domain of a Media Signal
First Claim
1. A physical document comprising an embedded pattern, the pattern incorporating a machine readable embedded signal not apparent to human observers of the document, the embedded signal forming a circular structure in frequency transform domain, the circular structure facilitating detection of the embedded signal in a digital image captured from the physical document despite rotation angle of the document;
- the embedded signal also including a one dimensional signal used to facilitate detection.

Abstract
Machine readable signals embedded in other media signals include a circular structure in a transform domain to facilitate detection. The machine readable signals are not apparent to human observers of rendered media containing the machine readable signals, such as images and documents. A detector captures the media signal, transforms it to the transform domain, and then uses the circular structure in the transform domain to facilitate detection despite rotation of the media signal.
