[embodiment]

The decoding device that the utility model provides a kind of coding/decoding method of bar code image and used this method, this method and decoding device are erased to the bar code that has searched according to decoded result and are reduced the requirement of decode procedure to storage space.In general, bar code image is made of pixel, and each pixel has certain pixel value, for example gray-scale value, chromatic value and place value etc.With the gray-scale value is example, no matter is that bar code or two-dimensional bar code can obtain gray level image or will be converted into gray level image by the coloured image that camera system obtains by pretreatment unit by camera system.This bar code can be made up of a plurality of modules of arranging by rectangular in form.In the gray level image of actual photographed, each module is made up of a plurality of pixels respectively, and each pixel has certain gray-scale value again.Because the bar code of which kind of type no matter, the gray-scale value on the bar code image between the black and white module has certain difference, so generally the identical homochromy image-region of each grey scale pixel value is considered to not be bar code.In addition, decoding device can't search information such as bar code border, version, form when each grey scale pixel value of bar code image is identical, and decoding device can't further be decoded.In view of this, the utility model is after decoding to a certain bar code and obtaining correct bar code information, can be a certain fixed value with the original gray value reset all to pixel that should bar code in the storage space, avoid when searching for bar code image again decoding once more to this bar code, for example the original gray value reset all with the whole pixels of this bar code is a fixed value, and preferably resets to 0 or 255.

Fig. 2 is the decoding device 10 according to the bar code image of the utility model one preferred embodiment.As shown in Figure 2, the decoding device 10 of the utility model bar code image comprises search module 11, decoder module 12 and the module 13 of erasing.Search module 11 is used for bar code image is scanned, with the search bar code.Decoder module 12 is used for the bar code that searches is decoded.After this bar code being decoded and obtain to be correctly decoded information, the module of erasing 13 is used for the original gray value to whole pixels that should the bar code zone in the storer is reset to a certain fixed value.

The decoding device 10 of the utility model bar code image can be used for existing the bar code image of two or more bar codes to decode on the two field picture.The code system of these bar codes can be identical or different and can be a kind of or its combination in bar code or the two-dimensional bar code.

Fig. 3 is the coding/decoding method synoptic diagram according to the bar code image of the utility model one preferred embodiment.As shown in Figure 3, there are bar code 1, bar code 2 and 3 three bar codes of bar code on the bar code image.At the gray level image that obtains bar code image and after being stored into this gray level image in the memory RAM, each pixel of each bar code is respectively to having a pixel coordinate (not shown) and an original gray value (not shown), pixel coordinate has write down the locational space of this pixel, and gray-scale value has write down this gray values of pixel points.The gray level image of 11 pairs of bar code images of search module scans with the search bar code.After search module 11 searches bar code 1, the bar code 1 that searches is decoded by decoder module.After bar code 1 that 12 pairs of search modules 11 of decoder module search decoded correct bar code information, the module of erasing 13 all was set to 0 (not shown) according to the pixel coordinate of bar code 1 correspondence with the original gray value of whole pixels of corresponding bar code 1 region in the storer.Then, search module 11 scans to search for next bar code the gray level image of bar code image again.Because it is 0 that the original gray value of the interior corresponding bar code 1 whole pixels of storer all has been reset, be that original bar code 1 becomes entirely in vain, thereby make search module 11 can't search original bar code 1, search module 11 continues scanning and searches bar code 2, the bar code 2 that 12 pairs of search modules 11 of decoder module search is decoded, and after decoding the correct bar code information of bar code 2, module 13 all is set to 0 (not shown) according to the pixel coordinate of bar code 2 correspondences with the original gray value of the whole pixels in corresponding bar code 2 regions in the storer by erasing.In like manner, when search module 11 scans the gray level image of bar code image again, search module 11 can't search original bar code 2, search module 11 will search bar code 3, the bar code 3 that 12 pairs of search modules 11 of decoder module search is decoded, and after decoding the correct bar code information of bar code 3, module 13 all is set to 0 (not shown) according to the pixel coordinate of bar code 3 correspondences with the original gray value of whole pixels of corresponding bar code 3 regions in the storer by erasing.Search module 11 scans the gray level image of bar code image again, and for this search, search module 11 can't search bar code, and the decoding of 10 pairs of these bar code images of decoding device is finished.

In a preferred embodiment, search module 11 is divided into a plurality of zones with bar code image, and successively these a plurality of zones is searched for.If search module 11 searches the bar code characteristic boundary in a zone, but decoding device 10 can't go out correct bar code information to the bar code decoding that search module 11 searches, 13 need of the module of then erasing all are set to 0 (not shown) with the original gray value of the pixel of characteristic boundary, like this then search module 11 will can not search the characteristic boundary of this bar code next time when scanning, thus make search module 11 search less than this bar code.If search module 11 can't search the bar code characteristic boundary in a zone, then search module 11 will continue to scan other zones and finish until decoding.

In the utility model, the action of erasing of the module of erasing 13 is not limited to whole gray values of pixel points in the corresponding region of bar code are reset, but the corresponding region partial pixel point of the bar code of only need resetting makes search module 11 can't search corresponding bar code and gets final product.Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram according to coding/decoding method one preferred embodiment of the utility model bar code image.This method specifically may further comprise the steps:

Step S1: obtain the gray level image of bar code image, and deposit this gray level image in storer;

Step S2: the gray level image to bar code image scans, with the search bar code;

Step S3: the bar code that searches is decoded;

Step S4: the bar code that searches is erased according to decoded result, erase step comprises: the pixel value of corresponding region interior pixel point that will decode the bar code of correct bar code information according to the pixel coordinate of bar code resets to a fixed value, and the pixel value of characteristic boundary pixel that can't decode the bar code of correct bar code information according to the pixel coordinate of bar code resets to a fixed value.Preferred embodiment, pixel value is a gray-scale value, and gray-scale value is 0 or 255.

Step S5: the gray level image to the bar code image after erasing scans again, to search for next bar code.

By said method, the bar code that searches is erased and bar code image is searched for again according to decoded result, reduced the requirement of decode procedure to storage space.

In the above-described embodiments, only the utility model has been carried out exemplary description, but those skilled in the art can carry out various modifications to the utility model after reading present patent application under the situation that does not break away from spirit and scope of the present utility model.
