Two-dimensional PDF417 bar code has a wide range of use and has a storage capacity to compress a large amount of data. With these characteristics, PDF417 has been used in various ways to prevent the forgery and alteration of important information in documents. On the other hand, previous decoding methods in PDF417 barcode are slow and inefficient because they simply employ the standard specifications of AIM (Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility). Therefore, this paper propose an efficient and fast algorithm of decoding PDF417 bar code. As a result, the proposed decoding algorithm will be more faster and efficient than previous methods.

In this paper, we propose a real-time two-dimensional bar code detection system even at long range using a vision technique. We first perform short-range detection, and then long-range detection if the short-range detection is not successful. First, edge map generation, image binarization, and connect component labeling (CCL) are performed in order to select a region of interest (ROI). After interpolating the selected ROI using bilinear interpolation, a location symbol pattern is detected as the same as for short-range detection. Finally, the symbol pattern is arranged by applying inverse perspective transformation to localize bar codes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system successfully detects bar codes at two or three times longer distance than existing ones even at indoor environment.

Generally, the copy protection mark and 2D bar-code techniques are widely used for forgery protection in printed public documents. But, it is hard to discriminate truth from the copy documents by using exisiting methods, because of that existing 2D-barcode is separated from the copy protection mark and it can be only recognized by specified optical barcord scanner. Therefor, in this paper, we proposed the forgery protection tehchnique for discriminating truth from the copy document by using watermark inserted 2D-barcord, which can be accurately distinguished not only by naked eye, but also by scanner. The copy protection mark consists of deformed patterns that are caused by the lowpass filter characteristic of digital I/O device. From these, we verified the performance of the proposed techniques by applying the histogram analysis based on the original, copy, and scanned copy image of the printed documents. Also, we suggested 2D-barcord confirmation system which can be accessed through the online server by using certification key data which is detected by web-camera, cell phone camera.

In this paper presents a method of extracting reliable and regions of interest (ROI) in barcode for the purpose of factory automation. backgrounds are separated based on directional components and the characteristics of detected patterns. post-processing is performed on candidate images with analysis of problems caused by blur, rotation and areas of high similarity. In addition, the resizing factor is used to achieve faster calculations through image resizing. The input images contained multiple product or barcode for application to diverse automation environments; a high extraction success rate is accomplished despite the maximum shooting distance of 80 cm. Simulations involving images with various shooting distances gave an ROI detection rate of 100% and a post-processing success rate of 99.3%.

Food printers must use food ink cartridges approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). A 2D bar code is used to read whether the ink cartridge is authentic. However, since the dye is diverged by heat pressure and printed, the barcode is contaminated. In this paper, we propose a pre-processing algorithm to solve the problem of barcode contamination by food coloring dust in a latte art printer. The algorithm is based on various morphological operations. We apply this algorithm before reading contaminated barcode images with a general QR code reader. It has been confirmed that, as compared with the existing QR code reader, the contamination rate that can be perceived is increased from 25% to 40% and even at a contamination rate of 45%, the recognition rate reaches 50%.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)는 IC칩과 무선을 통해 식품, 동물, 사물 등 다양한 개체의 정보를 관리할 수 있는 첨단 인식 기술이다. 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 바코드가 일정한 방향으로 인쇄된 내용을 리더기를 이용해야만 인식하는데 비하면 RFID는 초소형칩(IC)을 내장해 무선 주파수로 추적하기 때문에 인식범위가 넓고 인식 속도 역시 매우 빠르다. 뿐만 아니라 담을 수 있는 정보량에서도 모델에 따른 차이는 있지만 바코드와는 비교가 되지 않을 정도로 많다.

Recently many efforts on the development of automatic processing system for delivery sequency sorting have been performed in ETRI, which requires the use of postal 4-state bar code system to encode delivery points. This paper addresses the issue on the extension of read range and the improvement of image processing method. For the improvement of image processing procedure, applied information acquisition method through basic two thresholds onto the horizontal axial line of gray image based on reference information of 4-state bar code symbology. Symbol values are computed after creating two threshold values based on the obtained information through search of horizontal axial values. The implementation result of 4-state bar code reader are obtained the symbol values within 30~60 msec (58,000~116,000 mail item/hour)without noise removal or image rotation in spite of the incline $\pm 45^{\circ}$.

In point of flexographic printing on generally corrugated fiberboard cartons, the precision of film master and the adequate compression rate are very important factor in bar-code printing. Also, the complete system including scanner is essential for the purpose of enhancing the reading rate. The film master had good precision when the film was prepared by means of printing/developing machine after transformation of input bar-code number through transceiver, and the BWR 100 showed better compression rate than BWR 200. Also considering the bar-code reading, the complete system targeting the reading rate above 99.8% could be configured by Omni-Directional Scanner type accomplishing the reading rate above 99.5%.

IOT(Internet of things) is a technology to embed various sensors and communication features on diverse things such as home appliances, mobile devices, wearable computers and connect to the Internet and through this technology, the status of things connected to the network can be analyzed and controlled with various data. On the other hand, this paper suggests to develop a merchandise management app using Android-based barcode to systematically manage expiry date of various goods that we purchase in our daily life. Therefore, individual goods are recognized with mobile-based barcode and divided under each category. By additionally supporting the notification service to let us know about expire date, goods can be efficiently managed.
