Quick response (QR) codes are two-dimensional codes. They are machine-readable optical labels which contain information of the object on which they are attached. Due to their large storage capacity and faster readability, they are becoming more popular than one-dimensional bar codes. They are widely used in creation of inventories, product tracking, document management, etc. With the widespread use of smart phones, QR codes are becoming more popular. QR code interpreting apps are freely available and all modern smartphones are equipped with a camera and internet to process and interpret these codes. The value of printed maps can also be enhanced by using QR codes. This chapter reviews how the value of printed or hard copy maps can be enhanced by adding QR codes that have multimedia content placed on the Cloud.

: Quick Response Code is a machine-readable, two-dimensional barcode consisting of an array of black and white squares which can be scan quickly by any smartphone. It allows encoding over 4000 pulse characters in a two-dimensional barcode. It is used to store a small amount of information like web URL, item data, phone numbers and multimedia data. Due to restricted size in it, QR codes are presently limited in the extent to store the data. But the data in image format uses more space, if you want to store image data in QR code you must enlarge the storage capacity of QR code. In this paper, we propose a very simple form of lossy data compression, in which runs of data is dividing into blocks of equals size. The entire block is stored as a character rather than as the original run with generic HashMap which makes more robust and provides all sorts of security. Finally, our results are compared with other techniques to differentiate the optimality, efficiency of the new technique for producing optimal QR codes.

To improve on our previously proposed but problem-plagued innovation for generating animated and illustrated Quick Response (QR) codes, this paper proposes a method which formulates the animated QR code generation problem as an optimization problem rather than as a set of still QR code decoration problems. The proposed method also uses optimization operators designed for this problem and quality evaluation to maintain natural, smooth movement. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can generate animated QR codes involve a maximum of eight illustrations moving inside the code which maintaining decoding feasibility and smooth illustration movement.<FONT color="red" size="3">Erratum<br /></FONT> <FONT color="red" size="2">Due to a wrong manipulation during the correction of the proofs of the above paper, the running head title (short title) was incorrect.

QR (Quick Response) codes are one of the most famous types of two-dimensional (2D) matrix barcodes, which are the descendants of well-known 1D barcodes. The mobile robots which move in certain operational space can use information and landmarks from environment for navigation and such information may be provided by QR Codes. We have proposed algorithm, which localizes a QR Code in an image in a few sequential steps. We start with image binarization, then we continue with QR Code localization, where we utilize characteristic Finder Patterns, which are located in three corners of a QR Code, and finally we identify perspective distortion. The presented algorithm is able to deal with a damaged Finder Pattern, works well for low-resolution images and is computationally efficient.

Wall or magazine magazines are a means of delivering information on Raharja College campus. In the delivery of information, the magazine has been widely spread in several applications of Raharja College, iRan and GreenDoc. However, this is still not optimal because the method used is still using paper. And also the lack of awareness of students will read the information on the magazine. QR codes are a type of two-dimensional matrix code or bar code developed by Denso Wave in 1994. With that, the form of information is reduced to a QR code that can store detailed information displayed on a monitor screen available at several strategic corners of the campus and scan the code on the main page of the online magazine website. The method used is the waterfall method, observation, and literature study and journal references as supporting in writing.

QR (quick response) Codes are one of the most popular types of two-dimensional (2D) matrix codes currently used in a wide variety of fields. Two-dimensional matrix codes, compared to 1D bar codes, can encode significantly more data in the same area. We have compared algorithms capable of localizing multiple QR Codes in an image using typical finder patterns, which are present in three corners of a QR Code. Finally, we present a novel approach to identify perspective distortion by analyzing the direction of horizontal and vertical edges and by maximizing the standard deviation of horizontal and vertical projections of these edges. This algorithm is computationally efficient, works well for low-resolution images, and is also suited to real-time processing.

With the quick arrival of high grades of acceptance, the QR Code technology is becoming more adaptable and usable every day by more and more people. Lately, the utilization of two dimensional QR codes for the powerful encoding of information with a big capacity becomes significantly growing; especially for encoding the identity. Because the identity is private information, it requires being further authenticated. This paper firstly works on analyzing the content of the QR Code and finding the unimportant locations inside it; Then, a combination of the digital watermarking concept and QR Code technology is used to substitute the founded unimportant locations by the watermark for the purpose of increasing the authenticity for the owner of the identity. The experimental results show that the inclusion of watermark bits inside the detected unimportant locations did not affect the process of decoding and retrieving information from the QR Code.

Mathematics in elementary school is difficult to understand, boring, formal, theoretical, and book-based learning, which makes students tired of listening and paying attention. The purpose of this study is to create a learning prototype based on QR codes, especially mathematics learning in elementary schools. Using the QR code, students can access math games related to the course. This learning model could encourage students to learn mathematics. The research included seven steps in research and development named after Borg &amp; Gall, such as need assessment, plan, early product development, first test, revise early product, field test and revise product. The object of the research is QR code-based learning, and the respondents are elementary school students and teachers. After analyzing data in the first and field test, researchers found the result. QR code-based learning could support children for learning mathematics.

Quick response (QR) codes are usually scanned in different environments, so they must be robust to variations in illumination, scale, coverage, and camera angles. Aesthetic QR codes improve the visual quality, but subtle changes in their appearance may cause scanning failure. In this article, a new method to generate scanning-robust aesthetic QR codes is proposed, which is based on a module-based scanning probability estimation model that can effectively balance the tradeoff between visual quality and scanning robustness. Our method locally adjusts the luminance of each module by estimating the probability of successful sampling. The approach adopts the hierarchical, coarse-to-fine strategy to enhance the visual quality of aesthetic QR codes, which sequentially generate the following three codes: a binary aesthetic QR code, a grayscale aesthetic QR code, and the final color aesthetic QR code. Our approach also can be used to create QR codes with different visual styles by adjusting some initialization parameters. User surveys and decoding experiments were adopted for evaluating our method compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, which indicates that the proposed approach has excellent performance in terms of both visual quality and scanning robustness.
