Description

Two-dimensional code positioning method under low signal-to-noise ratio environment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of two-dimension code processing, in particular to a two-dimension code positioning method under a low signal-to-noise ratio environment.
Background
The two-dimensional code is a graphic symbol which is arranged on a two-dimensional plane by using a specific geometric model according to a specified coding mode to realize information storage. The two-dimensional code can be printed on the surfaces of different objects and read by image acquisition equipment or a photoelectric scanning instrument, so that the information can be quickly processed. There are many two-dimensional code systems on the market, and common two-dimensional codes include QR code, PDF417, Data matrix, lobel code, Maxi code, and the like. The QR code has the characteristics of large information storage capacity, high reliability, capability of representing Chinese characters and images, strong confidentiality and anti-counterfeiting performance and the like, and is applied in China.
With the recent upgrade of communication networks in China, the popularization of smart phones and the development of internet of things, two-dimensional codes are widely applied to various industries. The two-dimensional code has the characteristics of anti-counterfeiting property, low manufacturing cost and strong fault-tolerant capability, and has wide application prospect in industry. The two-dimensional code can be directly printed on the surface of the metal part through a needle type, a laser, an electro-corrosion and the like, and the information of the part is stored in the two-dimensional code, so that the uniqueness and the permanence of the part identification are realized.
There are various extreme light environments in industrial environments that are not available in other fields, such as multiple light source interference, strong light, weak light or no light, and in addition, there may be interference of various electric waves in industrial environments. Because the performance of a CMOS chip carried by the two-dimensional code scanner is limited, the CMOS chip is easily interfered by noise under the extreme environments, and the target edge is submerged by the noise. Extracting the edge information of the two-dimensional code is the key point of the two-dimensional code positioning. The current common method is based on morphology and edge positioning of edge operators such as canny operator and Sobel operator, but these operators introduce noise information, which causes positioning failure. In order to solve the problems, the patent provides a two-dimensional code identification method based on small line transformation, and the identification capability of a scanner in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment is improved.
