Abstract
Image analysis is used to track multiple optical patterns, such as barcodes. Many applications are becoming web-based. However, web-based applications can have less computational resources than a native application. For example, a native application can be used to track barcodes based on decoding barcodes from a plurality of images. However, decoding barcodes can be computationally intense and cause lag when moved to a web-based platform. To reduce computational resources used for decoding barcodes, barcodes are tracked in several frames and decoded only periodically for a web-based application used to decode barcodes. Positions of barcodes can be tracked relative to each other to form a digital shelf. The digital shelf can be used to visualize a state of a shelf.
