Abstract

See full text

A bar code detection circuit accepts as input the discretized analog output of a CCD array, and performs piecewise linear reconstruction to produces a continuous polylinear output signal. In the region of a bar/space transition, the output signal is a close approximation of the reflectance function of a bar code symbol convolved with the system transfer function of the bar code reader. Linear interpolation is performed in order to determine the offset of a given threshold value from an edge of the CCD analog output.
