    Also known as:
    
    evaluation penalty
    
  

  

  
  
A numerical score calculated during mask selection that evaluates the quality of the module pattern. Four penalty rules check for consecutive same-colour runs, 2x2 blocks, finder-like patterns, and dark/light proportion. The mask with the lowest total penalty is selected.
