Abstract
Disclosed are barcode scanners and methods for scanning a barcode. The barcode scanners and methods for scanning a barcode may include receiving a raw image from a scanner. Channel information may be extracted from each pixel of the raw image. A composite image may be created using the channel information from each pixel of the raw image. Finally, product information may be extracted from the composite image.
Claims20
A method for scanning a color barcode, the method comprising:
- illuminating the color barcode with white light;
- capturing a raw image of the color barcode with a color scanner;
- extracting, by a computing device, channel information from each pixel of the raw image;
- creating, by the computing device, a composite image using the channel information from each pixel of the raw image;
- and
- extracting product information from the composite image.
3 more elements
A system for scanning a color barcode, the system comprising:
- a processor in electrical communication with the color scanner and a white light source;
- and
- a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
- activating the white light source to illuminate the color barcode with white light,
- capturing a raw image of the color barcode using a color scanner,
- extracting channel information from each pixel of the raw image,
- creating a composite image using the channel information from each pixel of the raw image, and
- extracting product information from the composite image.
