A Design of Multi-Purpose Image-Based QR Code

A multi-purpose image-based QR code is designed in this paper. There are four purposes for the generated code. In first purpose, basic with look of a host image an ingenious layout to be identified easier. second one, saliency region detection method adopted enhancing quality third embedded into further access image; Finally, visual cryptography-based watermarking applied case that specific users need verification from code, binary verified can retrieved when public share available. The experimental results demonstrate not only looked better than some previous works but also had high and identification ability.
