Abstract

See full text

A method and computer software for creating an encoded image and which can optionally include a method for decoding the encoded image. The encoded image is preferably formed from at least one symmetric image but can be formed from a plurality of symmetric images. Embodiments of the present invention can be performed with physical paper and writing utensils or can be performed via computer software. Embodiments of the present invention can be used for art authentication based on results obtained by decoding an image. In one embodiment, one or more encoded image elements can be revealed simultaneously. Optionally, however, encoded image elements can be caused to be revealed in a series that gives a sense of motion in a manner similar to that of motion picture animation.
