Error detection

Aztec Code uses the Reed-Solomon algorithm to add error detection and correction information to source data.

Error correction

Aztec Code uses the Reed-Solomon algorithm for error correction. The user can specify the percentage of the data region that is to be used by error correction codewords; the recommended level (which is also the default minimum) is 23 percent of symbol capacity plus three codewords more.

Usage

Aztec Codes are used in transport ticketing (e.g., railway tickets, airplane boarding passes), car registration and tax systems, and on companies' bill payment systems.
