Example Detect QR Code

• 

  Several QR Codes are detected in this image. Correctly decoded ones are highlighted in green and failures in red. Graph of connected position patterns is also shown.

QR Codes are found on many consumer products and often encode information such as a website. BoofCV provides a QR Code detector is designed to be fast on large images, detect small markers in large images, and be rotation invariant. It also provides much more internal information on the QR codes than other popular detectors. It even returns the rejected markers.

Example Code

/**
 * Shows you how to detect a QR Code inside an image and process the extracted data. Much of the information that
 * is computed while detecting and decoding a QR Code is saved inside the {@link QrCode} class. This can be useful
 * for application developers.
