Abstract: QR (Quick Response) code recognition systems (based on computer vision) have always been challenging to be accurately devised due to two main constraints: (1) QR code recognition system must be able to localize QR codes from an acquired image even in case of unfavorable conditions (illumination variations, perspective distortions) and (2) The system must be adapted to embedded system platforms in terms of processing complexity and resources requirement. Most of the earlier proposed QR code recognition systems implemented complex feature descriptors such as (Harris features, Hough transform which aim at extracting QR code pattern features and subsequently estimating their positions. This process is reinforced by pattern classifiers e.g. (Random forests, SVM) which are used to remove false detected patterns. Those approaches are very computationally expensive. Thus, they are not able to be run in real-time systems. In this paper, a streamlined QR code recognition approach is proposed to be efficiently operable in systems characterized by a limited performance. The evoked approach is conducted as follows: the captured image is segmented in order to reduce searching space and extract the regions of interest. Afterwards a horizontal and vertical scans are performed to localize preliminarily QR code patterns, followed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method which allows removing false positives. Thereafter, the remaining patterns are assembled according to a constraint so as to localize the corresponding QR codes. Experimental results show that the incorporation of PCA decreases notably the processing time and increase QR code recognition accuracy (96%).
