Abstract: Provided is a system and methodology which enhances the readability of barcodes using machine learning techniques wherein a model is trained using exemplary data and the resulting model is used in production to increase the chances of successfully capturing the data in a barcode notwithstanding that the barcode may be of low quality. According to the teachings of the present invention, the system is trained using large quantities of synthetic personal information associated with barcodes. Once the system is placed into production, the trained model is applied as against newly identified barcodes to enhance the readability of the original barcode based on features associated with the trained model.
