Encoding
Generating an Aztec code The encoding process consists of the steps of:
- Converting the source message to a string of bits
- Computing the necessary symbol size and mode message, which determines the Reed-Solomon codeword size
- Bit-stuffing the message into Reed-Solomon codewords
- Padding the message to a codeword boundary
- Appending check codewords
- Arranging the complete message in a spiral around the core
All conversion between bits strings and other forms is performed according to the big-endian (most significant bit first) convention.
