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 15):
A data reading method comprising:\n obtaining, via an imager, an image of an item containing at least one optical code symbol and other graphical data; selecting, via a processor, a starting pixel coordinate on the image; determining, via the processor, an initial contour threshold based on the selected starting pixel; 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 contour threshold, to determine a presence of one or more contours in the image; and analyzing, via the processor, the one or more contours to identify at least one optical code present in the image.
