Abstract [en]

This thesis aims to investigate how a Polychromatic Two Dimentional Barcode mightoutperform a Monochromatic Two Dimentional Barcode when the scanner resolutionis limited. The performance differences are captured through an experiment. In theexperiment three different scanners are used, each scanner having a different resolutionto represent a wide range of scanners that are being used at the time of writing. Thesymbologies are displayed on a tablet and photos of them are captured from a fixeddistance, then the photos are tested for decodability. The scanner and tablet are mounted ina fixture to reduce the impact from undesired factors. To represent the Monochromatic TwoDimentional Barcode the Quick response symbology is used and for the PolychromaticTwo Dimentional Barcode the Just Another Barcode symbology is used. The result of theexperiment shows that the lowest resolution scanner is not able to decode a larger amountof data from the Polychromatic Two Dimentional Barcode. The two scanners with thehighest resolution are able to decode more data from the Polychromatic Two DimentionalBarcode because the symbology has the ability to encode more data compared to theMonochromatic Two Dimentional Barcode.
