1. A method for decoding information from a captured image having a plurality of color patches including a plurality of payload patches, a plurality of calibration patches, and an orientation patch having a unique characteristic with respect to the payload patches and the calibration patches, the method comprising: identifying, within the captured image, the color patch having the unique characteristic as the orientation patch; identifying, within the captured image, the plurality of calibration patches, each of the calibration patches having a unique predetermined location with respect to the identified orientation patch; determining a relative orientation of the image based on a location of the identified orientation patch within the captured image; discerning calibration information according to characteristics of the identified calibration patches; utilizing the relative orientation and the calibration information to decode the information from the payload patches in the captured image.
