Abstract

See full text

A processing method for a color barcode image captured by a camera or barcode reader. The barcode includes color data cells and multiple large black locators which are located at the four corners of the barcode, along the four borders, and inside the barcode forming an array. The locators are first identified. Perspective correction is performed by dividing the barcode image into smaller regions each containing four locators, individually transforming each region into its original shape e.g. square, and spatially combining them into the barcode image. Illumination correction is applied to the barcode image based on average pixel intensities of the locators, by calculating an illumination correction map using the average densities of the locators and 2-dimensional interpolation for pixel positions other than the locators.
