Reading QR Code from Image using python

(Comments)

In this post, I will show you how to read QR Code from image using python

We will be using the open source app "qrtools" to read image.

qrtools installation:

Install zbar systemwide

sudo apt-get install libzbar-dev

Then create virtualenv and then install requirements

pip install pypng zbar pillow qrtools

Where pypng, zbar and pillow are the dependencies required by qrtools.

Code to read QR Code from Image:

import qrtools
qr = qrtools.QR()
qr.decode("QR_Code.png")
s = qr.data
print("The decoded QR code is: %s" % s)
