Next Generation Bar Code Recognition
A brief demonstration of the next generation 1D barcode recognition engine I developed as part of my thesis:
J2ME Version
ExampleVideo
This small example video illustrates the recognition of barcodes using the free J2ME version as provided by this toolkit.
C++ Symbian Version
There are a few (not reworked) example videos available that illustrate the current state of the recognition. The videos have been taken using a Nokia N70 device. This phone model has no autofocus camera and is approximately 2 years old (we attached a macro lens to the phone in order to obtain sharp images on this device).
RealtimeRecognition
This video illustrates how well the realtime recognition of EAN13 barcodes works.
AllergyAssistant
This video shows how easy according applications can be. Transparent overlays are used to show the user if a certain product is fine for him or not.
ProductInformation
This video illustrates how fast data can be aquired from different sources. Each time a barcode has been recognized, it will be sent to a server using the mobile phone network. This server will then query the webservices offered by Amazon to obtain the current product's price and send the information back to the mobile phone where it will be displayed.
OrientationDetection
This video shows that additional parameters can be recognized from the barcode, besides the encoded EAN13 number. In this case the relative orientation of the mobile phone to the code. These parameters can be used to ease the user interaction. The video shows an orientation sensitive slider as well as menu, in which the user can select different menu items by rotating the mobile phone.
