Design and characteristics of two-dimensional color code editor with dotted images

Abstract

In recent years, QR code is widely used in the accessing to the Internet by cellular phones. As this code is a set symbol of simply black and white dots, it is very simple and insipid. In order to improve this weakness, a color two-dimensional color code editor with dotted images has been developed. This paper presents the design method and reading characteristics of the code editor. The experimental results show good performances of the decoding characteristics by the existing QR decoder and the effectiveness of the editor is also confirmed. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
