Abstract
A method for picture-based barcode decoding is provided herein. The method for picture-based barcode decoding includes the following steps: capturing all or part of a picture as a captured image; normalizing the captured image for generating a transformed image; calculating a mean color value of a plurality of blocks of the transformed image for generating a decoded data; performing an inverse error correction on the decoded data for generating an original data bitstream; transforming the original data bitstream into an original data; and outputting the original data with an output device.

A method for picture-based barcode decoding, comprising:
- capturing all or part of a picture as a captured image;
- normalizing the captured image for generating a transformed image;
- calculating a mean color value of a plurality of blocks of the transformed image for generating a decoded data;
- performing an inverse error correction on the decoded data for generating an original data bitstream;
- transforming the original data bitstream into an original data;
- and
- outputting the original data with an output device.
A device for picture-based barcode decoding, comprising:
- a memory for storing a captured image, a transformed image, a decoded data, an original data bitstream, and an original data;
- an image capturing device for capturing all or part of a picture as the captured image;
- a processor electrically connected to the image capturing device and the memory for executing the following steps:
