Abstract

This review paper concentrates on the concept of QR code steganography and its de-noising filters. The goal of this review paper is to explore and analyze QR Code generation, QR code versions, Steganography techniques and Problems of QR code. In this paper, we present review on two challenges of the work i.e. first one is QR code steganography and its major problem noise, noise creates a problem to read the QR code, and reduce the readability of QR code. The literature review is done on QR code steganography technique and filters that basically reduce the noise of Image of QR code and as well as performance parameters PSNR and MSE. We have also discussed various Error correction levels of the QR code, steganography techniques and de-noising filters. Error Correction and noise removal from Cover image is challenging task and calculating the PSNR and MSE values for QR Code images with different image file format.
