Abstract
Aspects and implementations provide for mechanisms of detection and decoding of barcodes in images. The disclosed techniques include estimating dimensions of a module of a barcode based on geometric characteristics of a barcode image, forming hypotheses that group modules into barcode symbols, and assessing viability of formed hypotheses. Various operations of the techniques may involve the use of neural networks, including estimation of module dimensions and assessment of groupings of modules into lines and lines into barcode symbols. The techniques may be used for decoding of barcodes captured in images of unfavorable conditions, including blur, perspective, sub-optimal lighting, barcode deformation, and the like. The techniques may be applied to decoding linear one-dimensional barcodes, two-dimensional barcodes, and stacked linear barcodes.
