QR Code Recognition

The QR library allows you to recognize QR code markers and data.

This example shows the flexibility and power of the FPGA architecture. A QR code recognition set of APIs is included in the VidorGraphics library and the corresponding IP is in the bitstream that is loaded in the FPGA together with the sketch for the SAMD Board Package. The example highlights on video the QR code markers and prints on the serial monitor the coordinates of the markers found.

Code

Include the VidorCamera library, which is part of VidorGraphics.

#include "VidorGraphics.h"
#include "VidorCamera.h"

You have a number of functions available to manage the recognition of a QR Code. VidorQR is part of the VidorCam library; the functions are accessible with cam.qrrec.

  • void begin()
    - start recognition algorithm

  • void end()
    - stops recognition

  • void setMode(uint8_t mode);
    - change video mode

  • void setThr(uint8_t thr);
    - set recognition threshold

  • int readQRCode(void);
    - perform qr code recognition

  • sQrDet qr;
    - structure containing detected points
