Redundant 2D Code: generation of custom bidimensional codes on the Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm

This technical report details Redundant 2D Code, an open-source software written in Python that generates rectangular binary matrices. It allows for great flexibility in terms of the dimensions, number, and shape of positional markers, which are fundamental to the reading phase. Similarly to existing QR-codes, the customized code is built using state-of-the-art the Reed- Solomon error correction algorithm to make it more resistant to damages and information loss. However, this Python package enables full customization of redundancy and shape characteristics, providing flexible tools applicable across multiple domains, particularly in industrial settings, where a one-size-fits-all approach is often unsuitable due to product variability.
