<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical information reader which enlarges a contrast ratio irrespective of a direction to which a bar code image is subjected to light and as a result, favorably performs read processing of the bar code. <P>SOLUTION: A bar code reader 20 includes a configuration to detect a tilt angle of a bar code image relative to a pixel string of a light receiving sensor concerned when bar code image receives light to a light receiving sensor, and while setting up an addition are AR' along a bar arrangement direction based on the detected tilt angle, defines an addition line along the bar direction in the addition area AR' based on the tilt angle concerned respectively. Further, the bar code reader is configured to create light-dark array data of the bar code based on an addition result of each addition line to perform decode processing based on the created light-dark array data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
