BAR CODE READERS
Too Expensive scanners. Have No Other Use. Too Bulky. Workers have to be Trained.
MOBILE PHONES
Affordable prices And Common Have Various Uses Too Handy No Training

Steps Involved in 2D Barcode recognition Grey Scale Image conversion Filter and Location Binarisation Accurate Location and orientation Correction the deformed shape Error correction and decode
1.Grey Scale Image Conversion:
QR code symbol is a set of dark and light pixels. QR code symbols are captured in RGB 24bit format Images by camera mobile phones. So color image converted to grey image, is the basic step.
2. Filter and Location:
Will smoothen the barcode and reduce the influence of noise. Before binarizing, a barcode area extracted to increases the accurate rate of binarizing.
FOR DETECTING BAR CODE AREA
Comparing with the background , the grey change frequency of the code area is quite high.
3. BINARISATION: The most critical method in Barcode Recog. Simple and popular method is Threshold
Ohbuchis Global threshold method
Image divided in to Nine Blocks. The grey histogram for each block is calculated and stored. Middle value is chosen as the threshold- each block Smallest value of block middle values is the Global threshold of the Image
4. ACCURATE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION:
Three Identical position detection patterns located at three of the four corners of QR code. Three dark-light-dark squares are overlapped in every finder pattern. If one of the pattern is dirty or damaged , can use timing patterns.
5. CORRECTION THE DEFORMED SHAPE:
International Alignment pattern for correcting the deformed shape. {Estimation Algorithm}
Fails:
70% of alignment pattern centre is inside the pattern, 30% outside of pattern.
Proposed alignment pattern :
Eight Direction algorithm
96 % of alignment pattern centre Successful location Darklight ratio is 1:1:1:1:1
6. ERROR CORRECTION AND DECODE:
Last Step of Recognition barcode
Employs REED- Solomon error correction, when code are distorted
Decoding steps Reference to international standard of QR Code. Contrast will affect the decoding of performance.
Image Of a Product BARCODE
Details gathering using the software Installed, from the Image.
Product Details from BARCODE and the Software Used
Recognition of 2D Barcode in mobile phone is Difficult due to:
High Noise Non-Uniform Illumination Low Resolution Optical Blur
Product details from a barcode, can be identified using a Mobile camera phone. Facilitates consumers with quick and easy to verify product status.
