Abstract
A system performs a method for processing an image of a machine-readable code. The method includes receiving an image of a machine-readable code comprising coded information, where the machine-readable code is at least partially obscured by a substance that has a predominant color; generating an adjusted image by adjusting a color space of the image based on the predominant color; binarizing at least a machine-readable code region of the image, wherein the machine-readable code region of the image depicts the machine-readable code; and decoding the binarized machine-readable code region to determine the coded information. Other apparatus and methods are also described.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- accessing, by one or more processors of a machine, an image that depicts a machine-readable code being at least partially obscured by a substance that has a predominant color in the image;
- generating, by the one or more processors of the machine, an adjusted version of the image by adjusting a color space of the image based on the predominant color of the substance that at least partially obscures the machine-readable code;
- and
- binarizing, by the one or more processors of the machine, at least a region of the adjusted version of the image, the region depicting the machine-readable code.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image that depicts a machine-readable code being at least partially obscured by a substance that has a predominant color in the image;
- generating an adjusted version of the image by adjusting a color space of the image based on the predominant color of the substance that at least partially obscures the machine-readable code;
- and
- binarizing at least a region of the adjusted version of the image, the region depicting the machine-readable code.
A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image that depicts a machine-readable code being at least partially obscured by a substance that has a predominant color in the image;
- generating an adjusted version of the image by adjusting a color space of the image based on the predominant color of the substance that at least partially obscures the machine-readable code;
- and
- binarizing at least a region of the adjusted version of the image, the region depicting the machine-readable code.
