+# Barcodes and QR-Codes
+### by Louis Heredero
+
+This repository gathers all files related to my maturity work.
+
+The main PDF file is [latex/main.pdf](latex/main.pdf)
+
+## LaTeX
+All latex files, including the [bibliographic database](latex/db.bib), are located in the [latex](latex) folder. The various figures and images are placed in [latex/images](latex/images).
+
+## Python
+Some LaTeX tables have been created using Python, as well as most of the figures.
+The Python scripts used for this purpose are in the folders [python/latex_gen](python/latex_gen) and [python/img_gen](python/img_gen), respectively.
+
+The other scripts used for code generation or scanning are simply put in the [python](python) directory.
+
+### Dependencies
+Most scripts require [Pygame](https://pypi.org/project/pygame/) and [NumPy](https://pypi.org/project/numpy/).
+Some also need [imutils](https://pypi.org/project/imutils/).
+
+The scanners work using [OpenCV](https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/)
