Abstract
A method and an apparatus for image identification are provided. For example, the processing circuitry of the apparatus obtains first feature values of a first image feature for pixels in an image for barcode detection. The processing circuitry calculates measures that are indicative of changes of the first feature values in multiple directions within the image and determines a target area in the image for the barcode detection according to the measures. Further, the processing circuitry divides the target area into a plurality of sub-areas, and filters the sub-areas to determine a target sub-area for the barcode detection. Then, the processing circuitry obtains second feature values of a second image feature for the target sub-area. The second image feature is derived from the first image feature. The processing circuitry then identifies a barcode type in the target sub-area according to the second image feature.
