Secret sharing is an effective way of protecting secret messages. However, the traditional secret sharing schemes are considered meaningless due to malicious people attention which might raise risks. To overcome the weakness, this paper presents an effective secret sharing scheme with the functionality of cheater identification, based on meaningful QR code. The secret message will be split and concealed in the padding region of cover QR codes with the assistance of Latin square and it can be completely restored when all the involved participants cooperate. The concealing strategy exploits the characteristic of Reed-Solomon (RS) code to ensure the strong robustness of generated QR code pseudo-shares. The meaningful QR code pseudo-shares help to reduce the curious of unrelated persons. Some experiments were done to evaluate the performance of proposed scheme. The results showed that the proposed scheme is feasible, efficient and secure compared to the other existing schemes. It also achieves a higher secret payload and maintains stronger robustness.

Watermarking is one of the methods that insist on a copyright as it append digital signals in digital informations like still image, video, ets. This paper proposed a novel digital watermarking scheme which combines a QR code and a watermarking method using DCT coefficient. It proposed an algorithm for selecting a QR code from a image and to be converted into a watermark. It processed a watermarking process using expanded watermarking method in DCT area. This simulation results showed that the PSNR difference between the proposed scheme and the original image was 33.98dB and the normalized correlation between the proposed scheme and the original image was above 99.51. The proposed method is reusable.

An image encryption scheme based on the quick response (QR) code as a data container has aroused wide interest due to the lossless recovery of the decrypted image. In this paper, we apply this method to multi-image encryption. However, since the decrypted image is affected by crosstalk noise, the number of multi-image encryptions is severely limited. To solve this problem, we analyzed the performance of QR code as a data container, and processed the decrypted QR code using the proposed method, so that the number of multi-image encryptions is effectively increased. Finally, we implemented a large image (256 × 256) encryption and decryption.

Plumbing of the plant project is an important discipline. Now workers on the construction site, carry hundreds of piping spool drawings and documents, record the Spool Stage data. Then, The data is input into the system or has been documented in the field office. Because of the work-flow, duplication work occurs. As a result, it is reducing the effectiveness of the Plumbing and causes schedule delays. Also, To manage the integration process, there is a problem, it takes a lot of time. Therefore, The study is conducted to design and implementation of piping spool management Android Application using QR Code. The Application will contribute to the management to the integration of piping work process.

As data sharing increases explosively, such information encoded in QR code is completely public as private messages are not securely protected. This paper proposes a new 'PROMISE' framework for hiding information based on the QR code projection matrix by using image segmentation without modifying the essential QR code characteristics. Projection matrix mapping, matrix scrambling, fusion image segmentation and steganography with SEL(secret embedding logic) are part of the PROMISE framework. The QR code could be mapped to determine the segmentation site of the fusion image as a binary information matrix. To further protect the site information, matrix scrambling could be adopted after the mapping phase. Image segmentation is then performed on the fusion image and the SEL module is applied to embed the secret message into the fusion image. Matrix transformation and SEL parameters should be uploaded to the server as the secret key for authorized users to decode the private message. And it was possible to further obtain the private message hidden by the framework we proposed. Experimental findings show that when compared to some traditional information hiding methods, better anti-detection performance, greater secret key space and lower complexity could be obtained in our work.

The QR codes are printed in sticker form and have many advantages in terms of location recognition accuracy or installation cost compared to the location recognition method, which attaches artificial indicators to ceilings or walls for low-cost location recognition, and the way in which the location is recognized by vision, to create robots that are generally applicable to all industries. In this study, it is shown that the two-dimensional square bar code applied to the robot within 3 mm of error allows the robot to be made with high accuracy and accurate location control. In particular, the fusion research, combined with various engineering technologies, describes QR code-aware indoor mobile robot control research centered on the construction of the system.

Recently, as elderly people suffering from chronic diseases have increased and disasters such as traffic accidents have increased, urgent rescue workers and doctors need to respond effectively to such emergencies. For elderly people, the difficulty in communicating their condition especially the health condition during disaster is one of the problems in which delay on immediate handling by rescue team can cause death. Providing a solution for this problem is one of the main issues in our research. In this paper, we use the QR code to communicate the minimum personal information and medical history needed for emergency medical treatment to emergency medical personnel, and to transmit the medical history and treatment data to the doctors of the hospital through QR code and fingerprint recognition, respectively. Especially, by using both QR code of smart phone and fingerprint of individual, we can protects personal information and strengthens privacy and security of medical information by allowing only authorized physicians to check medical records of the old patient.
