The .m code is here: http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/bar_code_reader2.m

It's pretty rough and ready (read development code). It doesn't do any filtering, so the image needs to be pretty clean. Also note that the image should be reasonably upright (and has to be the right way up, otherwise the code will come out backward and it probably won't like it )

It should be straight forward to turn into Python (which has the added advantage that the camera can be manipulated simply using it too), I've just been a bit busy lately. Do let me know how you get on.

Mike, I'll be interested to see what other options the OCR reader has to offer too when I have a bit of time.

Cheers,


Simon
