A Secure Video-Based Robust and Aesthetic 2D Barcode.

The conventional barcode is currently employed in some mobile payment applications. The barcode serves as a token which represents the identity of a user. However, attacks on the payment process can be initiated by intercepting the barcode images in various ways. In this work, we proposed a ideo-based Robust and Aesthetic 2D barCode (vRA Code) so that the security of the token is protected while the efficiency in the decoding process is guaranteed. Experiments with different embedded video contents and capturing angles have been conducted to show the practicality of the proposed system. Experimental results have demonstrated that a vRA Code can be decoded in about 1.5 s.
