A digital camera mounted on a mobile phone is utilized as a data input device to obtain embedded data by analyzing the pattern of an image code such as a 2D bar code. This article proposes a new type of image coding method using texture image synthesis. Regularly arranged dotted-pattern is first painted with colors picked out from a texture sample, for having features corresponding to embedded data. Our texture synthesis technique then camouflages the dotted-pattern
using the same texture sample while preserving the quality
comparable to that of existing synthesis techniques. The textured
code provides the conventional bar code with an aesthetic appeal
and is used for tagging data onto real texture objects, which can
form a basis for ubiquitous mobile data communications. This
technical approach has the potential to explore new application
fields of example-based, computer-generated texture images.
