Title
Blind Detection of Severely Blurred 1D Barcode
Abstract
In this paper, we present a joint blind channel estimation and symbol detection for decoding a blurred and noisy 1D barcode captured image. From an information transmission point of view, we show that the channel impulse response, the noise power and the symbols can be efficiently estimated by taking into account the signal structure such as the cyclostationary property of the hidden Markov process to estimate. Based on the Expectation-Maximisation method, we show that the new algorithm offers significative performance gain compared to classical ones pushing back the frontiers of the barcode technology.
