Challenges encompass the increase of storage capacity to keep promoting their use in a broader range of applications. We propose the use of multiplexing methods based on colour to generate high density QR codes with 3 times storage capacity increased when compared to traditional QR codes. A methodology to decode the multiplex coloured QR code, based on colour separation threshold aided by maximum likehood criteria to minimize the error associated with decoding and maximizing the foreseen storage capacity, is also presented.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115795857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most commercial DTS equipament has a spatial resolution of one meter, which makes it difficult to employ in small and medium structures or equipment. In addition to the advantage of having reduced dimensions, these sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). These characteristics are fundamental for use in electric machines. This paper presents a scheme to reduce the spatial resolution through signal processing without changing the hardware of the equipament, thus aiming at new applications of this technology in small and medium-sized structures.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134621814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
