Fast QR code detection

Quick Response (QR) code is introduced by the Denso Wave in 1994 [7]. It can encode alphanumeric characters, a rich set of information can be made available through encoded URL addresses [2]. Nowadays, with the rich development of Mobile Internet and Internet of Things, it is desired to have a quick and efficient QR code recognition method. However, QR code detection is not an easy job. In this paper, a set of novel approaches to detecting QR code in arbitrarily acquired images are proposed. The proposed method has been evaluated with arbitrarily acquired images. The experimental results show that the proposed methods are effective way to detect QR code position.
