Improving Machine Readable Codes Aesthetics: A Novel Iconographic Encoding Standard

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.

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.
