Maxicode Boundary Location Algorithms Based on Edge Detection
Feng Yuliang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2006
This thesis proposes a new accurate Maxicode boundary location algorithm, which is based on edge detection. It takes advantage of Maxicode inherent characteristics, including its finder pattern, orientation patterns, and quiet zones, to locate the barcodes in an image with relatively simple computations. No time-consuming complicated image processing algorithms, such as Fourier transformation, image rotation (coordinate conversion), momentum invariant computations, etc., are needed.
