  • Publication number: 20130094695
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of detecting orientation of document using a barcode decoding. The method includes (1) capturing an image of the document with an imaging arrangement having a solid-state imager; (2) determining a presence of a barcode in the captured image of the document; (3) decoding the barcode; (4) determining an up-direction of the document as a function of an orientation of the barcode in the document; and (5) setting an orientation of the document in the captured image based upon the up-direction of the document. In one implementation, the barcode is configured with orientation data indicating the up-direction of the document.

  • Publication number: 20130027573
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of detecting orientation of document using OCR. Decoding. The method includes (1) capturing an image of a document having a text string with an imaging arrangement having a solid-state imager; (2) storing into a memory a captured image of the document obtained by the solid-state imager; (3) performing OCR decoding on the text string in the captured image of the document to find an up-direction of the document in the captured image; and (4) setting an orientation of the document in the captured image based upon the up-direction of the document. In one implementation, the text string includes an OCR string specifically designed for OCR decoding.

  • Patent number: 8245937
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating an optimized exposure time for an imaging-based barcode scanner. The method includes (1) determining a SNR decodability function that enables a decodability value be determined from a signal-to-noise ratio; (2) determining a blur decodability function that enables a decodability value be determined from a blur value; (3) measuring a blur and a signal-to-noise ratio for an image captured with a first exposure time; and (4) determining an optimized exposure time based on the measured blur, the measured signal-to-noise ratio, and a combined decodability function that depends upon both the SNR decodability function and the blur decodability function.
