Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a data reading system and method for obtaining target data from an image. The data reading method includes obtaining an image containing the target data, and identifying a starting pixel coordinate on the image. The method further includes determining an initial local threshold value based on the selected starting pixel and analyzing the image to detect one or more high contrast boundaries or contours. After detecting the boundaries, the method includes analyzing the one or more boundaries to identify the target data in the image.

Claim (Index 1):
A data reading method comprising:\n obtaining, via an imager, an image containing at least one target item bearing target data; selecting, via a processor, a starting pixel coordinate on the image; determining, via the processor, an initial local threshold based on the selected starting pixel coordinate; analyzing, via the processor, the image beginning at the starting pixel coordinate and expanding to a plurality of pixels in other regions of the image; determining, via the processor, whether one or more pixels of the plurality of pixels satisfies the initial local threshold to determine a presence of one or more boundaries in the image; and analyzing, via the processor, the one or more boundaries to identify the at least one target item in the image.
