Abstract
For reading optical information arranged on a target object by analyzing an image of the target object captured through an imaging device, a plurality of blocks are disposed in an area of the image in which the optical information is arranged such that the plurality of blocks cover a whole range in the arrangement direction of the optical information, each of the blocks being in a parallelogram shape in which facing two sides are in parallel with a pixel arrangement direction of the image and the other two sides are vertical to the arrangement direction of the optical information, a first arrangement data indicating arrangement of the optical information in the block is generated for each of the blocks based on the image data of the block, and a second arrangement data indicating arrangement of the whole optical information is generated by combining the generated respective first arrangement data.
