Method for marking graphical elements comprising the steps of selecting at least three coherent edge portions (6) of a graphical element (1), wherein the relative orientation of the coherent edge portions (6) is constant and/or smoothly varies along their entire length, the coherent edge portions (6) comprising at least two reference edge portions (66) and one edge portion to mark (67); defining a family of smooth and non-intersecting curves (65), said curves (65) intersecting all of the coherent edge portions (66, 67); shifting the edge portion to mark (67) along the curves (65) relative to the reference edge portions (66); and method for detecting a marking in a graphical element, comprising the steps of locating an encoding area (7) in a digital image of a graphical element (1); retrieving at least two reference edge portions (66) and at least one modified edge portion (68) of the encoding area (7) in the digital image; and determining the relative position of the modified edge portion (68) relative to the reference edge portions (66). |
