Abstract:


    We present a pipeline for designing and detecting subtle code-conveying patterns that can be printed on transparent sticker paper, then applied to real-world surfaces, rendering the modifications imperceptible to the human eye, but robustly detectable to our model, with specific emphasis placed on allowing for human error in sticker placement.
