qr code:
settings
QR codes are a convenient method of sending links in a world where everyone has a mobile camera. In this series of videos we'll show you how you can work with them from python.
Notes
You can explore many settings when writing a QR code.
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
version=1,
error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_H, # L -> M -> Q -> H
box_size=5,
border=4,
)
qr.add_data('https//calmcode.io')
qr.make(fit=True) # Setting fit=True ensures the minimum size.
img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")
img
If you're interested in running the same error-correcting experiment, you'll appreciate the following helper function.
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
def convert_msg(img_path):
img_broken = Image.open(img_path)
np_arr = np.array(img_broken.convert('RGB'))
data, bbox, straight_qrcode = detector.detectAndDecode(np_arr)
print(f"found msg: {data}")
return img_broken
convert_msg('high-quality.png')
