(Received October 15, 2018; Accepted February 8, 2019)

Keywords: QR code, binarization, block truncation coding

The goal of this paper is to binarize quick response (QR) codes with basic image processing methods, so that they can be well recognized in extreme cases. In this paper, we avoid the complex computation that comes from sophisticated algorithms, and employ block truncation coding (BTC) to simplify the computation to make processing fast. The final results show that complex algorithms are not required in QR code binarization, and the basic image processing algorithm can achieve faster and better processing results.
