Barcode detection is required in a wide range of real-life applications. Imaging conditions and techniques vary considerably and each application has its own requirements for detection speed and accuracy. In our earlier works we built barcode detectors using morphological operations and uniform partitioning with several approaches and showed their behaviour on a set of test images. In this work, those ideas have been extended with clustering, contrast measuring, distance transformation and…

TLDR
A multistage approach is presented for thresholding document images, along with its application, which automatically customizes the thresholding of regions that have specific and consistent characteristics but are different to other regions in the image.

TLDR
A wavelet transform based bar code localization algorithm is proposed to enable fast and memory efficient application for automatic bar code recognition systems that are used in big manufacturing and distribution units.
Bar Code Waveform Recognition Using Peak Locations
TLDR
A new feature is presented that is more resistant to the blurring process, the image, and waveform peaks, and the recognition algorithm showed a 43% performance improvement over current commercial bar code reading equipment.
A general approach to connected-component labeling for arbitrary image representations
TLDR
An improved and general approach to connected-component labeling of images is presented, and it is shown that when the algorithm is specialized to a pixel array scanned in raster order, the total processing time is linear in the number of pixels.

Toolkit for Bar Code Recognition and Resolving on Camera Phones - Jump Starting the Internet of Things
TLDR
This work has developed a freely available EAN-13 bar code recognition and information system that is both lightweight and fast enough for the use on camera equipped mobile phones, thus significantly lowering the barrier for large-scale, realworld testing of novel information and interaction applications based on ''connected'' physical objects.
