TY - CHAP T1 - QR Code Localization Using Boosted Cascade of Weak Classifiers T2 - Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR) Y1 - 2014 A1 - Péter Bodnár A1 - László Gábor Nyúl ED - Mohamed Kamel ED - Aurélio Campilho AB -

Usage of computer-readable visual codes became common in oureveryday life at industrial environments and private use. The reading process of visual codes consists of two steps: localization and data decoding. Unsupervised localization is desirable at industrial setups and for visually impaired people. This paper examines localization efficiency of cascade classifiers using Haar-like features, Local Binary Patterns and Histograms of Oriented Gradients, trained for the finder patterns of QR codes and for the whole code region as well, and proposes improvements in post-processing.

Barcode localization is an essential step of the barcode readingprocess. For industrial environments, having high-resolution cameras and eventful scenarios, fast and reliable localization is crucial. Images acquired in those setups have limited parameters, however, they vary at each application. In earlier works we have already presented various barcode features to track for localization process. In this paper, we present a novel approach for fast barcode localization using a limited set of pixels in image domain.

In this paper we propose a novel strategy for selecting projection angles in binary tomography which yields significantly more accurate reconstructions than others. In contrast with previous works which are of experimental nature, the method we present is based on theoretical observations. We report on experiments for different phantom images to show the effectiveness and roboustness of our procedure. The practically important case of noisy projections is also studied. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for extracting skeleton-like shape features (i.e., centerline, medial surface, and topological kernel) from volumetric binary images. Subfield-based thinning algorithms partition the image into some subsets which are alternatively activated, and some points in the active subfield are deleted. This paper presents a set of new 3D parallel subfield-based thinning algorithms that use four and eight subfields. The three major contributions of this paper are: 1) The deletion rules of the presented algorithms are derived from some sufficient conditions for topology preservation. 2) A novel thinning scheme is proposed that uses iteration-level endpoint checking. 3) Various characterizations of endpoints yield different algorithms. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
