QR code, a kind of two-dimensional barcode, is used as shortcuts from physical media to online information in addition to object recognition purpose. However, QR code has become visually unpleasant with the global popularization of QR code. This paper proposes a method to decorate QR code by arranging module (black and white cell) patterns to be similar to a target image. The proposed method takes a hierarchical approach; upper layer solver using Cooperative Evolution by User and System (CEUS) arranges input images, i.e., location, pose, and scale to form the target image, and lower layer solver based on greedy search controls module pattern of QR code according to the target. A QR code designed by the proposed method completely satisfies QR code specifications and has visual meaning for human. Unlike the previous work controlling module patterns by codewords, the proposed method controls module patterns by modules without being influenced codeword region shape. In addition, CEUS allows users to obtain the most desirable solution with less manual operation.
