INTELLIGENT REAL-TIME BARCODE DETECTION AND DECODE SYSTEM BASED ON LOW-COST CAMERAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18106416 Titled 'INTELLIGENT REAL-TIME BARCODE DETECTION AND DECODE SYSTEM BASED ON LOW-COST CAMERAS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for using an artificial neural network to detect and decode barcodes in an image. The neural network receives the image and identifies the location of the barcodes by generating bounding boxes. It then extracts features from the image within each bounding box and decodes them to predict the characters of the barcodes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A processor-implemented method for detecting and decoding barcodes using an artificial neural network (ANN) includes receiving an image by the ANN. The ANN generates one or more bounding boxes corresponding to one or more barcodes located in the image. The ANN extracts a set of features of the image in a region of each of the one or more bounding boxes. The set of features of the image in the region of the one or more bounding boxes are decoded by the ANN to generate a prediction for each character of the one or more barcodes in the regions of the one or more bounding boxes.
