Abstract
Two-dimensional barcode technology is becoming popular and useful for communication as well as transport data. However, the common two-dimensional barcodes can contain a very little amount of data. Although certain types of two-dimensional barcodes can contain more data, the size of the barcode image becomes too large. As a result, it is impractical to insert or attach the barcode to the document in the form of paper or print media. The barcode would occupy a large portion of the page. The space would be wasted and the information may not fit on the page.
This paper presents the design and the implementation of a high capacity two-dimensional barcode which shape and size are suitable for attaching to the document in the form of paper or print media. The proposed implementation reduces space usage compared to existing barcodes. The barcode can store both text and binary data. For space efficiency, the proposed implementation employs data compression. Therefore, the amount of data stored can vary widely depending on the content of the data. The maximum data size after compression is 24,400 bits.
