  • Device and Method for Locating a Barcode Using Image Analysis
    Publication number: 20090206159
    Abstract: A device comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores an image. The image includes a plurality of areas. The image is captured using at least one of an auto-exposure technology and an auto-focus technology. The processor is coupled to the memory and selects at least one of the plurality of areas as a function of predetermined data. The data is related to the at least one of the auto-exposure technology and the auto-focus technology. The processor locates a symbol in the at least one selected areas.
