Abstract
A multicolor 2D-photo-marker including a rectangular matrix of data pixels, framed by a contrasting matrix locator, wherein the rectangular matrix of data pixels includes at least one orientation data pixel that carry photo-marker orientation information and is located at a pre-selected location, and wherein a unique color and location combination of the multiple data pixels encodes identification information of the object with which the multicolor 2D-photo-marker is coupled with. Preferably, the rectangular matrix of data pixels further includes color reference pixels, each located at a pre-selected location, designated to serve as dictionary hue pixels. Preferably, the pre-selected location of each color reference pixels is at a corner of the rectangular matrix of data pixels. An orientation data pixel may also serve as a color reference pixel.
