SIMULATION OF BARCODE READER USING MATLAB

computer engineering

Barcodes are employed in a wide range of settings and applications these days. A handheld scanner suffices for the majority of applications, such as pricing calculations and access control. However, hardware scanners are not the ideal option in other contexts where there is a great volume of information and time is of the essence. Under such circumstances, barcode readers in scanned documents can be processed by a strong software barcode reader without the need for human intervention.In this paper we present a method based on the Hough transform which solves the aforementioned problem, and that can be easily adapted to read any 1D barcode. In this research, we provide a solution to the above problem based on the Hough transform, which can be simply extended to scan any type of 1D barcode.
