Abstract

As life style becomes to be complicated, lots of support technologies were developed. The bar code technology is one of them. It was renovating approach to goods industry. However, data storage ability in one dimension bar code came in limit because of industry growth. Two-dimension bar code was proposed to overcome one-dimension bar code. PDF417 bar code most commonly used in standard two-dimension bar codes is well defined at data decoding and error correction area. More works could be done in bar code image acquisition process. Applying various image enhancement algorithms, the recognition rate of PDF417 bar code is improved.
