16、ional Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular field
17、s of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a jo
18、int technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committ
19、ee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall
20、not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

22、center. Aztec Code symbols can encode from small to large amounts of data with user-selected percentages of error correction. Manufacturers of bar code equipment and users of the technology require publicly available standard symbology specifications to which they can refer when developing equipment
23、 and application standards. The publication of standardised symbology specifications is designed to achieve this.

36、All rights reserved 34 Symbology characteristics 4.1 Basic characteristics Aztec Code is a two dimensional matrix symbology with the following basic characteristics: a. Encodable character set: 1. All 8-bit values can be encoded. The default interpretation shall be: a. for values 0 to 127, in accord
37、ance with the U.S. national version of ISO/IEC 646; (NOTE: This version consists of the GO set of ISO/IEC 646 and the CO set of ISO/IEC 6429 with values 28 to 31 modified to FS, GS, RS and US respectively.) b. for values 128 - 255, in accordance with ISO/IEC 8859-1. This interpretation corresponds t
38、o ECI 000003. 2. Two non-data characters can be encoded, FNC1 for compatibility with some existing applications and ECI escape sequences for the standardized encoding of message interpretation information. b. Representation of data: A dark module is a binary one and a light module is a binary zero.
39、c. Symbol size: 1. The smallest Aztec Code symbol is 15 x 15 modules square, and the largest is 151 x 151. 2. No quiet zone is required outside the bounds of the symbol. d. Data capacity (at recommended error correction level): 1. The smallest Aztec Code symbol encodes up to 13 numeric or 12 alphabe
40、tic characters or 6 bytes of data. 2. The largest symbol encodes up to 3832 numeric or 3067 alphabetic characters or 1914 bytes of data. e. Selectable error correction: 1. User-selectable, from 5 % to 95 % of the data region, with a minimum of 3 codewords. 2. Recommended level is 23 % of symbol capa
41、city plus 3 codewords. f. Code type: Matrix g. Orientation independent: Yes SANS 24778:2008This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .ISO/IEC 24778:2008(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved4.2 Summary of additional features The followin
42、g summarizes additional features that are inherent or optional in Aztec Code: a. Reflectance Reversal (Inherent): Though Aztec Code symbols are shown and described in this specification always with the finders center dark and with dark modules encoding binary 1s throughout, symbols exhibiting the op
43、posite reflectance characteristics are easily autodiscriminated and decoded with the standard reader. b. Mirror Image (Inherent): Images which contain an Aztec Code symbol in mirror reversal, either because they are obtained using a reflected optical path, a reversed scan direction, or from behind t
44、hrough a clear substrate, are easily autodiscriminated and decoded with the standard reader. c. Extended Channel Interpretation (Optional): The ECI mechanism enables characters from various character sets (e.g. Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew) and other data interpretations or industry-specific requ
45、irements to be represented. d. Structured Append (Optional): Structured Append allows files of data to be represented logically and continually in up to 26 Aztec Code symbols. The symbols may be scanned in any sequence to enable the original data to be correctly reconstructed. e. Reader Initializati
46、on Symbols (Optional): A distinct format of Aztec Code symbol is available for use in barcode menus for reader initialization. The encoded message in these special symbols is never passed on to an application. f. Aztec “Runes” (Optional): a series of 256 small, machine-readable marks compatible with
47、 Aztec Code are available for special applications. See Annex A. 5 Symbol description Aztec Code symbols are nominally square, made up of square modules on a square grid, with a square bullseye pattern at their center. Figure 1 shows two representative Aztec Code symbols, a small 1-layer symbol on t
48、he left which encodes 12 digits with 47 % error correction and a larger 6-layer symbol on the right which encodes 168 text characters with 30 % error correction. Figure 1 Representative Aztec Code symbols These symbols illustrate the two basic formats of Aztec Code symbols: on the left is a “compact
49、 Aztec Code symbol, visually characterized by a 2-ring bullseye, useful for encoding shorter messages efficiently, while on the right is a “full-range” Aztec Code symbol, visually characterized by a 3-ring bullseye, which supports much larger symbols for longer data messages. Since encoders can autoselect and decoders autodiscriminate between the two formats, a seamless transition is achieved to cover the full spectrum of applications.
