Error correction:
Four levels of Reed-Solomon error correction allowing recovery
of:
L 7%
M 15%
Q 25%
H 30%
Masking (intrinsic):
is enables the ratio of dark to light modules in the symbol
to be approximated to 1:1 whilst minimizing the occurrence of
arrangements of close modules which would prevent efficient
decoding.
