Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining data representing digital imagery or video;
analyzing at least a portion of the data to determine one or more color characteristics associated with the at least a portion of the data, wherein the analyzing yields a result;
generating a key based at least in part on the result; and
using a programmed electronic processor, embedding auxiliary data in the data representing digital imagery or video using the key.

Abstract
A method of color masking an image or video includes reading color values of an image sample of the image or video and a corresponding change of an attribute of the image sample. Based on the color values of the image sample, the change in the image sample attribute is mapped to a change in color components of the image sample that is equivalent to the change in the image sample attribute, yet reduces visibility of the change in the image sample attribute for the specific color values of the image sample.
