A method for restoring an image of a blurred barcode includes capturing the image, restoring the image by selecting one Optical Transfer Function (OTF) in a database and performing deconvolution on the image, decoding the barcode in the restored image to return numbers represented by the barcode, and displaying the returned numbers.

A method for automatic food recognition by using portable devices equipped with digital cameras. With this system, it is possible to identify a previously established food menu. To this purpose, a semi-automated method of segmentation is applied to delineate the regions in which each type of food in an image of a plate of food, captured by a user. Pattern recognition techniques are used in images, integrated into a system whose goal is to label each type of food contained in the photo of a plate of food. No type of preprocessing is performed to correct deficiencies in capturing the image, just using the auto-focus component present in the portable device to capture a clear image.
