Stylize Aesthetic QR Code

چکیده
With the continued proliferation of smart mobile devices, Quick Response (QR) code has become one of the mostused types of two-dimensional code in the world. Aiming at beautifying the appearance of QR codes, existing works have developed a series of techniques to make the QR code more visual-pleasant. However, these works still leave much to be desired, such as visual diversity, aesthetic quality, flexibility, universal property, and robustness. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a novel type of aesthetic QR codes, SEE (Stylize aEsthEtic) QR Code, and a three-stage automatic approach to produce such robust art-style-oriented code. Specifically, in the first stage, we propose a method to generate the optimized baseline aesthetic QR code, which reduces the visual contrast between the noise-like black/white modules and the blended image. In the second stage, to obtain style-orient QR code, we adjust an appropriate neural style transformation network to endowing the baseline aesthetic QR code with abstract art elements. In the third stage, we design an error-correction mechanism by balancing two competing terms, visual quality and readability, to ensure performance robust. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SEE QR Code has a high quality in terms of both visual appearance and robustness, and also enables users to have more personalized choices.

ART-UP: A Novel Method for Generating Scanning-robust Aesthetic QR codes
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 paper, a new method to generate scanning-robust aesthetic QR codes is proposed, which is based on a module-based scanning probabi...
متن کاملAn aesthetic QR code solution based on error correction mechanism
QR code(Quick Response Code) is a popular two-dimensional matrix that randomly consists of black and white square modules. While the appearance of QR codes are often visually unpleasant, it leads to the increasing demand for the aesthetic QR codes. However, it may turn out to be unreadable if changes to the modules of the QR code are inadequate. Therefore, to resolve this conflict, we propose a...
