The idea would not be so much to use it to scan a single QR code. I was thinking more of running it over a video or a collection of videos and scan the whole video for QR codes, barcodes from products and so on. The idea is for example that if a random product appears in a video, we may have a clear enough view of its barcode or other easy machine readable identifer and can automatically turn it into metadata. This could be quite fun to index and search a large video collection that way. And it also would raise awareness of what easy parsable information people have in their videos OpenCV is BSD, and for basically volunteer work i want to make sure my work and future iterations stay available to the public. BSD does not ensure this. So i probably will not significantly contribute to BSD licensed code unless its paid work. > > While we are throwing ideas around how about a documentation project?
