Abstract:

A system for enhanced barcode decoding and image recognition and method therefor. Target image data and ancillary image data are received at a server from a client device. Using the target image data and the ancillary image data, enhancement parameters are chosen to augmenting and/or enhanced the target image data. A code database is queried using the augmented/enhanced image data to identify codes that that match the target image. When multiple possible matching codes are returned in response to the query, a trending pattern associated with at least one of the target image data and the ancillary image is identified and is used to select the most probable match from the multiple possible matches.
