Decoding barcode from image (Read 494 times)
Decoding barcode from image

I'm interested in recognising a barcode in an image coming from video input and decoding it.

Have a look at this link for the sort of thing I want to do:

I'm guessing that you need to position the barcode so that it is intersected by one of the red horizontal lines superimposed on the image. Then the analysis algorithm can work with single scan lines to simplify the problem.

Has anyone done anything like this before? Any pointers would be appreciated. I will make a library available when I've implemented it (if there isn't one already).
