Abstract
Abstract Recorded data is read by an image sensor from a recording medium on which the data is two-dimensionally recorded in a mesh pattern, and the read data is stored in an image RAM. The stored data is subjected to data decoding and error correction to reproduce target data. A scanning reference pattern of a mesh pattern recorded on the recording medium serves as a guide when the stored recorded data read by the image sensor is reproduced by scanning in the image RAM. A reproduction apparatus has a capability of coping with a partial destruction of the scanning reference pattern. Error checking codes are added to the recording medium in addition to the target data. These items of data are recorded as an encoded image after being subjected to scrambling processing and randomization processing. The reproduction apparatus can easily cope with an error when the encoded image is reproduced.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A data reproduction method comprising the steps of: reading an encoded image as image data from a recording medium on which image elements including dark and light image elements are arranged at two-dimensionally distributed positions whose arrangement includes a second predetermined order of a changed two-dimensional matrix obtained by changing a first predetermined order of an original two-dimensional matrix, said original two-dimensional matrix being formed by adding error checking codes to target data; detecting image elements from the read image data, and obtaining elements of the data expressed by the image elements to form the second predetermined order of the changed two-dimensional matrix; changing the order of the second predetermined order of the formed two-dimensional matrix to form the first predetermined order of the original two-dimensional matrix; and correcting an error on the first predetermined order of the formed original two-dimensional matrix according to the error checking codes included in the formed first predetermined order of the original two-dimensional matrix to reproduce the target data.
