Definition: Matrix (2D) barcodes A matrix code, also known as a 2D barcode or simply a 2D code, is a two-dimensional way of representing information. It is similar to a linear (1-dimensional) barcode, but has more data representation capability. (From Wikipedia)
The quest for higher capacity barcodes printed to the same scale

High Capacity◦ Up to 7,089 characters
Small Printout size◦ 1/10 size 1D Barcode
Damage Resistant◦ Up to 30% of codewords
Omni-directional◦ 360 degree high speed
reading◦ Makes use of position
detection patterns located at 3 corners.
Four levels of error correction capability Raising this level improves
error correction capability but also increases the code size.
Factors: Operating Environment and QR code size (e.g. Factory compared to clean environment)
• Error Correction feature implemented by adding a Reed-Solomon Code to the Original data
