QR Code Explained: History, Standards, Engineering, Scanning and Product Authentication
A QR code is a standardized two-dimensional matrix barcode invented by DENSO WAVE in 1994. It stores data in black and white modules, adds Reed–Solomon error-correction codewords, applies a mask to improve readability, and is decoded from a camera image by locating its three finder patterns, correcting perspective, sampling the module grid, reversing the mask, and repairing recoverable errors. QR became an international ISO standard in 2000; phone-camera support arrived through software, not a special camera standard, and became mainstream in stages.
