A Real Time Tracking System for School Forms Using QR Codes with Watermarking Algorithm

Abstract

Document tracking is considered crucial, particularly in schools that still use traditional administration methods. Meanwhile, the usage of forms in a school's office, such as the Budget Division, is still necessary and should not be removed as per the school’s current policy. As a result, the school should have a solid monitoring system in place to ensure that these forms are stable and reliable. The tracking system is a flexible solution that may be used as a collaboration and communication tool, and it can aid in the construction of a traceable process. The researcher investigates the school's key concerns regarding using paper-based forms, as well as how the school can track its progress and location. The usage of a watermarking algorithm and a QR code-based tracking system was explored in this study. In addition, the structure, applications, security, and strategies for using a QR code are discussed. Existing watermarking technology, according to relevant research, has the opportunity for development in terms of imperceptibility and endurance in the future.
