A memory device is provided including instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform the steps including receiving a plurality of images acquired by a camera, the plurality of images including a plurality of optical patterns, wherein an optical pattern of the plurality of optical patterns encodes an object identifier. The steps include presenting the plurality of images comprising the plurality of optical patterns on a display, and presenting a plurality of visual indications overlying the plurality of optical patterns in the plurality of images. The steps also include identifying a selected optical pattern of the plurality of optical patterns based on a user action and a position of the selected optical pattern in one or more of the plurality of images. The steps also include decoding the selected optical pattern to generate the object identifier and storing the object identifier in a second memory device.

Systems and methods configured to determine a machine-readable optical code based on screen-captured video are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: monitor, in an ongoing manner, a directory to determine whether a screen-captured image is added; effectuate, responsive to the determination that the screen-captured image is included in the directory, an image decoding machine configured to parse and decode images and/or the video frames for information embedded into the images and/or the video frames to: parse the screen-captured image for a machine-readable optical code; extract embedded information from the machine-readable optical code; and decode the embedded information for metadata; and effectuate, via the user interface, presentation of information derived from the metadata.

A vehicle is configured to image, with an outside camera, an identification mark associated with a content provided by a service provider, output the content associated with the imaged identification mark to an occupant in a cabin of the vehicle, acquire operation information on the occupant relating to the output content, and acquire information regarding the occupant when the occupant performs operation relating to the content in the vehicle cabin. An information processing apparatus is configured to, when determining that the output content is not selected by the occupant based on the operation information on the occupant, determine whether or not to update the content that is not selected, based on the information regarding the occupant.

A code reader for reading an optical code is provided that has a linear image sensor having a plurality of linear arrangements of light reception pixels for recording image data having the code and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to locate and read the code in the image data, wherein the light reception pixels have a different spectral sensitivity. Here, at least one linear arrangement is a white line whose reception pixels are sensitive to white light for recording a gray scale image and the other linear arrangements are color lines whose reception pixels are sensitive to light of only one respective color for recording a color image.

A method of analyzing images is performed at a computer system that is in communication with an image acquisition device having an image sensor. The method includes receiving a reference template that includes a sync region and an inspection region that is located at an offset from the sync region. The method also includes acquiring a continuous sequence of image frames from the image sensor and storing each of the image frames in a buffer within the computer system's memory. The method further includes, for each image frame in the buffer, determining whether the image frame includes a sub-region matching the sync region. The method also includes, in accordance with a determination that the image frame includes a sub-region matching the sync region, capturing an inspection region within the image frame at the offset from the sub-region, and storing the captured inspection region to a non-volatile portion of the memory.

Images of optical codes are mapped to an overview image to localize optical codes within a space. By localizing optical codes, information about locations of various products can be ascertained. One or more techniques can be used to map the images of optical codes to the overview image. The overview image can be a composite image formed by stitching together several images.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to document processing, and more particularly to systems and methods that can utilize relative positions between the content of the document and a decodable indicia affixed to the document. In one embodiment, indicia reading terminals are provided that include an imaging module for capturing a frame of image data of a document. The document can include one or more decodable indicia such as a form barcode and various content fields, which delineate particular content of the document. The form barcode can include information respecting the form design and form design data. This information can be used to process the content of the document such as by providing coordinates or similar location and positioning metrics for use in processing the content of the document. In one example, the frame of image data is analyzed to identify the form barcode, from which the relative location of the content fields can be discerned without extensive processing of the frame of image data.

Systems and methods configured to determine a machine-readable optical code based on screen-captured video are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, via a user interface of a client computing platform, an indication to begin a screen-captured video; initiate, based on the indication, the screen-captured video; effectuate an image decoding machine configured to parse and decode images and/or the video frames for information embedded into the images and/or the video frames to: parse the video frames for a text; for individual ones of the video frames with the text, extract embedded information from the text by performing at least optical character recognition; and decode the embedded information for metadata; and effectuate, via the user interface, presentation of information derived from the metadata.

A robotic system is disclosed that include an articulated arm and a first perception system for inspecting an object, as well as a plurality of additional perception systems, each of which is arranged to be directed toward a common area in which an object may be positioned by the robotic arm such that a plurality of views within the common area may be obtained by the plurality of additional perception systems.

The present disclosure describes method, apparatus, and storage medium for identifying an identification code. The method includes obtaining, by a computer device, a to-be-detected picture. The computer device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor in communication with the memory. The method also includes detecting, by the computer device, an identification code in the to-be-detected picture to obtain a detection result, the detection result comprising target information of a target code corresponding to the identification code; sampling, by the computer device, the target code according to the target information, to obtain a sampled image; and decoding, by the computer device, the sampled image, to obtain an identification result corresponding to the identification code.
