The invention relates to an image processing system for omnidirectionally reading optical patterns, e.g. one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes. Th e aim of the invention is to create an image processing system that ensures a high resolution and fast processing so as to allow especially real-time vide o processing while providing secure recognition of the image data, particularl y reliable and low-error edge detection, segmentation, and object allocation. Said aim is achieved by using several convolvers that operate in parallel and/or in a time division multiplex method in order to fold the digital imag e data, a neighborhood processor (90) for reading out and linking contour poin ts (22), and/or a statistics processor for reading out a segment list. |
