Efficient Decoding of Blurred, Pitched, and Scratched Barcode Images
نویسنده
چکیده
While there are number of domain transformation based image processing algorithms for decoding barcode images, these algorithms are computationally intensive and thus not suitable for embedded or online applications. These algorithms are better implemented on desktop or server systems for decoding images offline. In this paper, we discuss a camera independent barcode image decoding algorithm suited for embedded real-time applications like barcode scanning in Point-Of-Sales terminals. While the algorithm is ideal for a charge-coupled device (CCD) type scanner with a camera module, it can also be used to decode images taken from a distance (as in laser scanners) and is robust against most of the common distortions caused by low cost cameras/lenses.

Robust Detection of Two-Dimensional Barcodes in Blurry Images
This report proposes a fast method for detection of two-dimensional barcodes in blurry images of low resolution. Such a method could improve the performance and the usability of a barcode decoding system implemented for example in a mobile phone. Example images show that barcode image quality in some cases can be good enough for detection but still not good enough to be decoded. This indicates ...
متن کاملScanning Severe Motion Blur Level in Barcode Images Using Image Blur Estimation Scheme
The paper presents a fresh linear barcode scanning system based on hybrid template matching scheme. In current area, charge coupled device based scanning skills are not talented of handling motion blur image and trust severely on camera systems for capturing good quality, well focused barcode images which are due to the lack of selfcontrolled and proficient mechanisms. The proposed system is ca...
متن کاملTemplate Matching Approach on out of focus Blurred images using Iterative Wiener Filter and Neural Network
Barcode technology plays an important part in people’s daily lives. Out-of-focus image blur are not handled properly by most modern devices which is based on barcode scanning technologies. In existing system, spatial domain template matching approach is used. This works entirely on spatial domain which is capable of reading linear barcodes from low-resolution images containing severe Out-of-Foc...
متن کاملAn Efficient Curvelet Framework for Denoising Images
Wiener filter suppresses noise efficiently. However, it makes the out image blurred. Curvelet preserves the edges of natural images perfectly, but, it produces visual distortion artifacts and fuzzy edges to the restored image, especially in homogeneous regions of images. In this paper, a new image denoising framework based on Curvelet transform and wiener filter is proposed, which can stop nois...
