Abstract

A method for anti-counterfeit inspection of a QR code of an agricultural product based on a watermark library. The method includes establishing a watermark-containing QR code library; tracing a QR code watermark image; and verifying the QR code watermark image. Watermark-containing QR codes are generated by a QR code generation module and a watermark library, and the watermark-containing QR codes are constructed as the watermark-containing QR code library. The watermark-containing QR code library is used to verify the QR code watermark image, and the QR code watermark image is obtained by tracing the watermark-containing QR codes. In the method for anti-counterfeit inspection of a QR code of an agricultural product based on a watermark library, an image watermark library is designed, so that the embedding of a watermark is no longer single.

Claims (7)

1. A method for anti-counterfeit inspection of a QR code of an agricultural product based on a watermark library, comprising:

randomly selecting a watermark image in a watermark library; and

embedding the selected watermark image in a currently generated QR code to generate a watermark-containing QR code, the embedding comprising preprocessing the selected watermark image by edge extraction through wavelet transform, compressing the preprocessed watermark image, and extracting features of the compressed watermark image;

constructing the watermark-containing QR codes as the watermark-containing QR code library, wherein the watermark-containing QR code library is used to verify the QR code watermark image, and the QR code watermark image is obtained by tracing the watermark-containing QR codes;

identifying, by a universal identifier, the watermark-containing QR codes to obtain product information;

extracting, by a tracing webpage or a mobile phone APP, the watermarks in the watermark-containing QR codes; and

comparing the extracted watermarks with data in the watermark-containing QR library for verification.
