I'm trying to create (or, if I've somehow missed it in my research, find) an algorithm to encode/decode a bmp image into/from a QR code format. I've been using a guide (Thonky) to try to understand the basics of QR codes and I'm still not sure how to go about this problem, specifically:

  • Should I encode the data as binary or would numeric be more reasonable (assuming each pixel will have a max. value of 255)?

  • I've searched for information on the structured append capabilities of QR codes but haven't found much detail beyond the fact that it's supported by QR codes -- how could I implement/utilize this functionality?

And, of course, if there are any tips/suggestions to better store an image as binary data, I'm very open to suggestions!

Thanks for your time,

Sean
