In this paper, we propose three code-mapping methods, which make use of existing optical codes of one dimension to construct optical codes of a different dimension. A reverse codemapping method is first introduced, which allows the generation of 1-D prime codes from their 2-D counterparts. Afterwards, the one-to-one correspondence between 1-D and 2-D optical codes is established with the use of the Chinese remainder theorem. This theorem is then used for the first time to generate rare, difficultto-construct 1-D optical codes of cross-correlation values of at most two. Finally, an improved zero-padding folding method for mapping 1-D to 2-D optical codes with more flexible selection of code parameters than previous methods is detailed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
