Zusammenfassung:Barcode reading mobile applications that identify products from pictures taken using mobile devices are widely used by customers to perform online price comparisons or to access reviews written by others. Most of the currently available barcode reading approaches focus on decoding degraded barcodes and treat the underlying barcode detection task as a side problem that can be addressed using appropriate object detection methods. However, the majority of modern mobile devices do not meet the minimum working requirements of complex general purpose object detection algorithms and most of the efficient specifically designed barcode detection algorithms require user interaction to work properly. In this paper, we present a novel method for barcode detection in camera captured images based on a supervised machine learning algorithm that identifies one-dimensional barcodes in the two-dimensional Hough Transform space. Our model is angle invariant, requires no user interaction and can be executed on a modern mobile device. It achieves excellent results for two standard one-dimensional barcode datasets: WWU Muenster Barcode Database and ArTe-Lab 1D Medium Barcode Dataset. Moreover, we prove that it is possible to enhance the overall performance of a state-of-the-art barcode reading algorithm by combining it with our detection method.
