Me and my team used these yellow tracking dots to reconstruct shredded documents for a DARPA shredder challenge over a decade ago. You can see our program highlight the dots as we reconstruct the shredded docs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzZDhyrjdVo Thanks to that, we were able to win by a large margin. :)

and here I thought the library shredder/scanner in Vinge's Rainbows End was just sci-fi loosely based on gene sequencing...

(I mean it is, but seeing this almost real-world implementation is fun!)
