METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPTURING FORM DOCUMENT WITH IMAGING SCANNER

摘要

A method of decoding the barcode in a form with a barcode reading arrangement. The barcode reading arrangement comprises a solid-state imager. The method includes capturing an image of a form having a barcode with a barcode reading arrangement, storing the image of the form captured by the solid-state imager to a memory, and finding a reference box in the image of the form by traversing one of connected lines and connected edges in the image of the form. The method also includes processing the image of the form to improve the image of the form by transforming the reference box to a rectangle, and processing an image of the barcode in the rectangle for decoding the barcode.
