Abstract

Todays, barcodes play a significant role in various industries, and among the two-dimensional barcodes, the most famous one is QR code (Quick Response code) that has grown widely.
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a noise-cancellation method based on a autoencoder deep neural network that can be used to restore distorted and illegible QRs to readability.
To create noise and distortion, unlike other articles that used added simulated noise to the image, the challenge of extracting QR coded into a color image was used to collect more realistic data by collecting real-world dataset. therefore we Have more reliable estimation of proposed QRs noise-canceling method. As a result, we created a comprehensive data set of distorted QRs from three different watermark extraction approaches after the screen-camera attack. For the noise reduction process, three independent MCNN networks ( which is an upgrade from the U-net network) are used for each of the three extraction approaches,
