In this paper, we propose a simple method to recognize barcodes. It is based on the feature extraction of lines from the barcodes. It firstly captures the gray-scaled images by CCD camera. Then the regions of bars and spaces will be separated, and the widths of barcodes are then recorded. Finally, we use the feature of widths to recognize the barcodes. From the experimental results, it can be found that the proposed method is effective for bar code recognition.
