Abstract
Systems and methods for processing an image of a machine-readable code. The method includes accessing an image of a machine-readable code comprising coded information, wherein the machine-readable code is at least partially obscured, occluded, false, or blurry. The image is refined by a trained neural network to render the machine-readable code locatable. An adjusted image may be generated in which the orientation of the machine-readable code is refined. The coded information is decoded, and fluid-related information may be displayed based on the decoded information. The decoded information may be unique to the item to which the machine-readable code is affixed. Other apparatus and methods are also described.
