In this article, we’ll discuss the section Barcode Localization which is the product-specific part of the 2nd section of a “Read-Barcodes” task.

The 2nd section of a “Read-Barcodes” task consists of Shared Detection and Barcode Localization.

Section 2.2 - Barcode Localization

The purpose of this section is to find the exact locations of barcodes on the image.

Constituting Stages

This section consists of multiple stages which forms a fixed and relatively complete set of workflow:

1. Contour-locating: to find contours that may be part of barcodes.
2. Line-locating: to extract lines from the contours.
3. Candidates-locating: to find zones that may contain barcodes.
4. Barcodes-locating: to find exact locations of barcodes.

Output and Parameters

Each of these stages has its own output (known as an intermediate result) and usually a specific parameter that can regulate the operation:
