Abstract
Recently barcode detection using a camera is popular, but the recognition performance is low at the effectively low-resolution. The paper propose sub-pixel synchronization technique for better recognition performance. The experiments with ITF-18 demonstrates its performance gain (66% for CIF, 100% for VGA) against the existing recognition algorithms.
