Abstract

Usage of computer-readable visual codes is common in everyday life. The reading process of visual codes consists of two steps, localization and data decoding. This paper introduces a fast and robust method for localization of visual codes using Fuzzy Inference Systems based on simplistic, attentive features which can be optionally extended with cell histograms. Input image properties, assigned membership functions and efficiency of the system has been evaluated and discussed, showing FIS is a viable alternative for rapid QR code recognition in the image domain. The basic approach can be also used with lookup tables, that speeds up image cell evaluation and makes it ideal for embedded systems.
