{barcodes} concerns barcodes and QR codes for optical reading

Barcodes (Fig. 1) are optically readable codes representing data by variable line widths and spacings. Codes are commonplace in retail businesses, postal services and other activities where quick identification of data is required. the one-dimensional barcodes have developed into so-called QR (Quick Response) codes (Fig. 2) which are two-dimensional which allows more information to be stored in a specific area. QR codes have become popular since automatic pattern recognition systems in mobile devices allows a user to gather information by directing a built-in camera towards such codes (often URL's).
