Application: Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20240196106A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a system where an image capturing unit captures an image with an embedded image printed based on modulated image data. A white balance adjustment unit adjusts the white balance of the captured image based on an adjustment value associated with the embedded image. A processing unit then reads the additional information embedded in the image after the white balance adjustment.
The patent also includes claims related to a camera-equipped mobile terminal capable of extracting additional information from an image with embedded data. The terminal includes a light source for illuminating the image and a controller to run the application for extracting the embedded additional information. The controller does not use auto white balance when extracting the information and can display the extracted data. Additionally, the terminal can access a network based on the extracted information, and the method involves illuminating the image with a light source and extracting the additional information from the illuminated image. This technology can be applied to smart phones and other camera-equipped devices for efficient extraction of embedded information from images.
