This paper presented a novel strategy for a reversible data-hiding (RDH) algorithm used in QR Code imaging. The linear weighting was used with many effective RDH techniques to embed large amounts of data into QR Code images with low distortion. Many linear weighting values were exploited significantly for the possible capacity. Experimental tests with several QR Code versions were carried out and the results have been compared to previous work in term of higher embedding capacity, the approach utilized in this paper provided better results with lower distortion
