Abstract
The invention relates to a method for decoding a machine readable code, comprising the machine generation of an input image of the machine readable code, wherein the input image has a plurality of image pixels having a respective value, wherein the sequence of the values of the image pixels defines an input signal development, wherein the input signal development comprises signal regions that each represent the signal energy in an associated signal region. The method comprises the transfer of the signal energy of at least one first signal region to a second signal region, wherein a result signal development is produced by transferring the signal energy. Finally, the method comprises the decoding of the machine readable code based on the result signal development.
Claims19
A method for decoding a machine readable code, comprising
- machine generating an input image of the machine readable code, wherein the input image has a plurality of image pixels having a respective value, wherein the sequence of the values of the image pixels defines an input signal development, wherein the input signal development comprises signal regions that each represent the signal energy in an associated signal region,
- transferring the signal energy of at least one first signal region to a second signal region, wherein a result signal development is produced by transferring the signal energy,
- decoding the machine readable code based on the result signal development.
A decoding apparatus for decoding a machine readable code,
- comprising an acquisition unit and a computing device, wherein the acquisition unit is configured for the machine generation of an input image of the machine readable code, wherein the input image has a plurality of image pixels having a respective value, wherein the sequence of the values of the image pixels defines an input signal development, wherein the input signal development comprises signal regions that each represent the signal energy in an associated signal region,
- wherein the computing device is configured
- to transfer the signal energy of at least one first signal region to a second signal region, wherein a result signal development is produced by transferring the signal energy,
- to decode the machine readable code based on the result signal development.
