Recognition apparatus, recognition method, storage medium, management system, and conveyance system

A method of recognizing optically-readable information, the method comprising:

• extracting an optically-readable symbol from an optically captured image including an image of the optically-readable symbol, the optically-readable symbol including a first cell line having a plurality of first cells, and one or more second cell lines each having one or more second cells, each of the one or more second cell lines connected to respective ones of the plurality of first cells of the first cell line;
• recognizing first information expressed by the first cell line included in the extracted optically-readable symbol;
• recognizing second information expressed by the one or more second cell lines included in the extracted optically-readable symbol;
• synthesizing the recognized first information and the recognized second information based on connection information of the first cells composing the first cell line and connection information of the one or more second cells in the one or more second cell lines;
• and
• acquiring identification information included in the optically-readable symbol based at least in part on the recognized first information and the recognized second information.

A non-transitory storage medium storing one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute a method of recognizing optically-readable information, the method comprising:

• extracting an optically-readable symbol from an optically captured image including an image of the optically-readable symbol, the optically-readable symbol including a first cell line having a plurality of first cells, and one or more second cell lines each having one or more second cells, each of the one or more second cell lines connected to respective ones of the plurality of first cells of the first cell line;
• recognizing first information expressed by the first cell line included in the extracted optically-readable symbol;
• recognizing second information expressed by the one or more second cell lines included in the extracted optically-readable symbol;
• synthesizing the recognized first information and the recognized second information based on connection information of the first cells composing the first cell line and connection information of the one or more second cells in the one or more second cell lines;
• and
• acquiring identification information included in the optically-readable symbol based at least in part on the recognized first information and the recognized second information.
