Improving Machine Readable Codes Aesthetics: A Novel Iconographic Encoding Standard

Featured in:

2024 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Reality (ICIR)

Authors:

Andre Neto; Allan Freitas; João Marcos; Nuno Gonçalves

Abstract

This paper introduces the novel Icon- based Graphic Code (IbGC), which is a new paradigm for Machine Readable Code (MRC) with configurable aesthetics. In IbGC, data is encoded as a sequence of icons positioned over the code region. The design and position of the icons is designed for each application, allowing complete control of the final aesthetics of the MRC.
