  • Patent number: 9805296
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and a method for decoding QR codes in complex scenes, a system and a method for generating multi-layer color QR codes and applications enabled by the systems and methods. The method for decoding a QR code may include detecting rough locations of the QR code by a learning-based QR code detector which is pre-trained off-line; localizing finder patterns and alignment patterns within each detected location; correcting geometric distortion of each QR code, based on the localized finder patterns and alignment patterns; restoring a color of each data module within each corrected QR code by a learning-based classifier; and decoding the QR code from each restored QR code. The application also discloses a system and a method to determine the optimal setting parameters for creating a multi-layer QR code to fulfill the user's requirements. Some applications enabled by these systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9541115
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a closed rivet plug. The closed rivet plug is mainly comprised of a rivet core and a rivet housing; the rivet housing is hollow and cylindrical and has one closed end; the closed end of the cylindrical rivet housing is provided with an inward recessed arc; the rivet core consists of a rivet rod and a rivet head; the rivet core closely fits the hollow space of the cylindrical rivet housing through the rivet head; the top of the rivet head of the rivet core is provided with a pit matched with the recessed arc at the closed end of the cylindrical housing; and the rivet head of the rivet core is entirely shaped as a truncated cone. The invention has advantages of avoiding falling off and completely preventing safety hazards caused by leakage from the processed holes, together with firm and reliable plugging, simple structure, low manufacturing cost, quick and convenient plugging.
