Abstract
We present an efficient method to deblur images for information recognition. The method is successfully applied directly on mobile devices as a preprocessing phase to images of barcodes. Our main contribution is the fast identifaction of blur length and blur angle in the frequency domain by an adapted radon transform. As a result, the barcode recognition rate of the deblurred images has been increased significantly.
