  • System and method for decoding and analyzing barcodes using a mobile device
    Patent number: 7287696
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for decoding barcodes using mobile device. Generally, the barcode image is acquired via a digital camera attached to the mobile device. After the barcode image has been acquired, software located on the mobile device enhances the barcode image and subsequently decodes the barcode information. The barcode information is then transmitted to a server via a wireless network. The server processes the barcode information and transmits media content related to the barcode back to the mobile device.

  • Group average filter algorithm for digital image processing
    Patent number: 7245780
    Abstract: This present invention discloses a system and method for enhancing images of barcodes and other similar objects taken by the digital camera connected to or embedded in a mobile device. This filter works by converting the image into its equivalent gray scale. The algorithm then computes the mean pixel intensity value of a row of pixels in the image. The row is divided into sections and the mean pixel intensity of each section is also calculated. The pixels in each section are processed according to the relation of the relative mean intensities of the row and the section. Once each pixel has been processed, the image is reassembled from its divided sections.
