QrBrysh: Stylized Qr Code Generator

This is a fork of the original source code for the paper "ArtCoder: An End-to-end Method for Generating Scanning-robust Stylized QR Codes".

There has been many changes and improvements, including:

• A complete web interface to select images and change the training parameters
• Optimizations (I don't recall the numbers exactly but it's at least a x2 speedup)
• Automatic segmentation of the input data for minimal encoding size
• Base Qr code generation
• Qart code implementation so the base code fits the target image, using saliency and edge detection

Dependencies

• Linux or Windows
• CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN
• Python 3
• Pytorch 1.7.0
• Other Python libraries I forgot about but you'll find out as you try to run it

Getting Started

Installation

• Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/SwordHolderSH/ArtCoder
    cd ArtCoder

• Install PyTorch and other dependencies.

Quick Start

• Start the server

    python ./src/app/main.py

It will start a webserver you can visit at http://localhost:8056 (and a webserver at ws://localhost:8057)
