Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes determining a set of parameters defining an arrangement of a plurality of copies of a standard barcode in two or more of layers of a layered barcode encoding subject data. The layered barcode has a plurality of cells, and for each cell in the layered barcode, a combined value for the cell is determined, where the combined value of the cell indicates a respective value of each layer at the cell, and the combined value is mapped to a color corresponding to the combined value. The plurality of layers of the layered barcode are generated, such that, at each cell of the plurality of cells, the layered barcode includes the color corresponding to the combined value of the cell.
