Abstract
In an approach for interpreting a matrix code with increased information density, a processor identifies a first portion of an extended matrix code and a second portion of the extended matrix code, where each portion of the extended matrix code has a different combination of at least one positioning marker and at least one location marker. A processor locates at least one location marker of the first portion of the extended matrix code and at least one location marker of the second portion of the extended matrix code. A processor concatenates the first portion of the extended matrix code and the second portion of the extended matrix code based on at least one location marker of the first portion of the extended matrix code and at least one location marker of the second portion of the extended matrix code. A processor generates the extended matrix code.
