  • Method and portable apparatus for recognizing barcodes
    Patent number: 8596540
    Abstract: A method for optical recording of a linear barcode pattern and determination of a symbol sequence as defined by the barcode pattern from a blurred raw image and includes the following steps: taking a raw image of the barcode pattern, preprocessing the raw image to generate a series of output patterns, comparing the output pattern with stored reference patterns, wherein the reference patterns correspond to blurred images of sharp nominal patterns and each reference pattern is provided with at least one symbol, determining for each of the output patterns the reference pattern which most closely resembles the output pattern outputting, transmitting or storing the symbols corresponding to the determined reference pattern and following the sequence of output patterns, as a symbol sequence.
