A NEW TECHNIQUE TO PROCESS AND RECOGNIZE BARCODES USING INDUCTION

Abstract

-In this pa per, a ne\v technique to recognize and process Barcodes is introduced. The technique employs Inductive Learning. It is suitable to use, for example, in a factory to control the \\'Orkers, staff, stock ete. In this technique only vert.ical lines are considered \\·hile the spaces in bet,veen are ignored. This results faster processing. Each Barcode is considered to represent an iteın. For each Barcode a rule is ex1.racted from the necessary information using Inductive Learning. So the unnecessary information is eliminated. This causes faster processing time and less amount of memory. In order to use this technique no special hard\:vare is required. Only a PC and a Barcode reader _is enough
