    Australia's largest supermarket chain is currently in the process of replacing all normal barcodes with data matrix codes on the packaging. This lets them store a whole bunch of things like the expiry date, batch number, etc. So if you try to scan something that's expired at the checkout it won't let you buy it

      That sounds horrible, since if the matrix code gets stretched vertically on the packaging, it won't scan. If it's on any sort of stretchy plastic packaging, it's going to be so inconsistent and annoying to scan it.

    Actually there is one 2d code missing, a code most of us had heard from (but maybe not about): Dolby Digital Code. This was one of the digital sound recording methods on analog films, between the perforation, was scanned by a little camera, decoded and given to the amplifier. About 15 years ago this code went pacticly away with digital projection coming up - but till then it was one of the most used 2d codes (4 codes per picture, 24 pictures a second), so anyone watching a DD movie in cinema heard 345600 2d-codes per hour (of course there was much redundancy in encoding, as parts of the perforation might get damaged).

    8:52 actually for RS-Code you always need 1 EC block to verify that the data is valid and then 1 additional block for each corrupted block in the data segment. so to replace 1 corrupted/missing data block you need 2 EC blocks. To replace 3 corrupted/missing data blocks you need 4 EC blocks and so on.

    • @Crazytesseract
      @Crazytesseract Před 4 měsíci

      To replace 3 corrupted blocks you require at least 6 additional EC parity blocks. If you have N redundant EC parity blocks, you can correct N/2 symbol errors (block errors) at the most. Assume N is even.

    The "Mask" that flips the blocks in the QR code is a process that is also used in digital signal transmission, called "Alternate Mark Inversion" so instead of having a digital signal that has a long string of 1's or 0's, these are broken up. This also helps with basic error detection in digital signals. If part of the transmission system receives no signal input, it creates an alarm signal to signify loss of signal at that point, and then injects a string of all 1's to transmit forward. This is an "Alarm Inhibit Signal", so the system recognises the point where the signal is broken, but prevents parts of the system further up the chain from creating their own alarm signal. This means the first place where the signal failed can be identified. Further up the system the all 1's signal registers as a "valid" signal, but displays a warning there is an all 1's input being received, so you can tell that there is a problem somewhere back from that point.

    This is a fascinating subject matter.
    Aztec codes, I have read somewhere, are better for use in mobile device displays than QR Codes. I would guess that their appearance makes them somewhat faster and more resilient for that purpose. Also, since they spread from the central pattern, I would also guess that they make it possible to emphasize certain parts of the encoded information (that closer to the core) and make partial readings possible.

    Funnily enough, some airlines also use Aztec codes for their mobile/digital boarding cards, as well as the PDF417 on the paper/printed ones. In my experience they're easier to scan off screens (and faster to process), probably because they're smaller and less complex. However they have less data in them, so occasionally you have to get a PDF417 reprint when certain things happen

    I discovered (maybe not) that if you scan the QR code and the data matrix code in the thumbnail it will say what it is, and the ones in video will lead to either Wikipedia or a text file full of gibberish or describing the Version of a QR code or various different text files. Try it yourself! Neat detail Joe! Also, I did go through and scan them all and, yes my phone scans Data Matrix codes. Also I just got Rick Rolled by one.

Not only do I be top o’ the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I’ll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o’ the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn’t, ye didn’t, and now ye’ll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I’ll shit fury all over ye and ye’ll drown in the depths o’ it. You’re fish food now
