Abstract

To address the limits of capacity and the disadvantages of motional scanning capability of traditional two-dimensional barcodes, a novel 3-D Continuous Barcode (3-D CoBe) is proposed. It adds color as a third dimension based on our previous research on 2-D continuous barcodes (2-D CoBe). The novel 3-D CoBe is called 2-D Continuous Color Barcode (CCB) as well. Furthermore, we implemented a codec system including an encoding sub-system and a decoding sub-system for a target application. In the codec system, CCB is generated and printed on papers by an encoding software sub-system, in addition to being recognized and decoded by a hand-held device with a decoding sub-system in real-time. It is verified that the codec system for CCB is practical and effective.
