The 2D barcode shift takes time and resources, however. GS1 therefore proposes a transition phase in which manufacturers put both the one-dimensional GTIN barcode and a 2D barcode on their packaging.

Traditional 1D bar codes (with printed bars and spaces) are giving way to 2D bar codes that also include dots, hexagons, and even colors to encode more data. Bar-code scanners read 1D bar codes.

As a result, 2D barcodes can hold much more data—up to 2,000 characters—while remaining smaller than a 1D barcode. 2D barcodes are also not limited to alphanumeric data and can include ...

This paper proposes a new approach to achieve localization for one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes under the complex background. Most methods may work for a single 1D or 2D barcode ...

2D barcode readers can read both 1D & 2D barcodes. 2D barcodes can store much more information than the 1D barcode. In this report, we have covered the immense market analysis and also the ongoing ...

At CeMAT in Sydney this week, industry leaders tackled the big questions around 2D barcode implementation – from ...
