<p>A bar code reader (10) includes an optical system (26, 28) for storing a two dimensional image in memory (32), which stored two dimensional image contains a bar code symbol. A method and apparatus is disclosed for detecting the location of the bar code image by computing the accumulated sum (64) of the products of the derivatives (62) of respective first and second scan lines (60) as a location score (68) for the image under consideration. The higher the location score, the higher the probability that the area under consideration contains a bar code image. Also, a method and apparatus is disclosed (Fig. 5B) for determining the fine orientation of a located bar code image by the cross-correlation of interpolated scan line data. The bar code image is filtered by shifting interpolated scan line data in accordance with the detected peak of the cross-correlation and combining the shifted scan line data. <IMAGE></p> |
