Machine Vision

Mako Vision designed for a wide range of image processing applications aims to optimize the intelligent warehouse management process. In the first production step, Mako Vision intelligence barcode scanner provides a barcode scanning service for reading multiple barcodes from printed labels. Mako Vision can read several barcodes in any orientation within a single view. Mako Vision locates and decodes the barcodes in different types, angles, and distances before distributing the resulting data across a network.

Image-based barcode scanners offer advantages over laser scanners and begin with more information about the barcodes. They can read codes degraded by damage, orientation, or illumination. Mako vision software can reconstruct the data of partially damaged barcode images successfully by decoding.

Multiple laser scanners are often required to be configured together to read barcodes in applications where orientation is not repeatable. But one image-based barcode scanner can locate and read barcodes at any angle, type, and distance within a single view.

Mako vision image-based barcode scanning includes three steps:

• Image capturing: Capture an image that is in focus and has sufficient resolution.

• Barcode detection: Locate barcodes, regardless of their size, type, and orientation, simultaneously.

• Decoding: Decode the detected barcodes, and reconstruct barcodes that became partially damaged.

These steps must be fast enough to keep pace with logistics and manufacturing processes.
