Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of the marking of articles by means of optically readable codes and of decoding the codes. Such a code is introduced into a surface of an article. The code is decoded on the basis of a transformed captured image of the code. The transformed captured image is generated from at least one captured image of the code using a machine learning model. The model is trained to generate a transformed captured image from at least one captured image and the readout of the optically readable code leads to less decoding errors than the readout of the code in the at least one captured image. The present invention relates to a method for training the machine learning model and to a method, a system and a computer program product for decoding a code using the trained machine learning model.
