QR Barcodes

Post by Baldrick »

Just wondering if anybody here has played around with these QR codes at all or done any porting work to PB to make these code images?
No real reason, apart from I have just been having a little bit of a play with them on my Android phone & they seem like something which could be quite a useful tool.

Very nice. Looks like they will be very useful with code such as dige's samples. I haven't looked at the German forum link yet, but have no doubt there will be some excellent stuff in there as well.
Thanks for the links bobobo :)

Just for fun I decided to independently write a QR reader program. I'm still only part way through, but so far I've done:

* Use a file requester to open an image of a QR Code
* Remove any colour and transparency from the image so it becomes plain black and white (this was harder than expected, and I may have discovered a bug in that the Plot() command seems not to always handle the alpha channel correctly in certain drawing modes)
* Locate the position of the 3 'finder patterns' (but not yet the 'alignment pattern')
* Remove distortion from the image using the Inverse Perspective Transform (written, but not yet integrated with the rest of the program).

Still a long way to go.
I do not yet have any idea how to decrypt the QR message, but am hoping to stumble across a web page that may give some clues.
