Video Barcode Reader/Scanner

BarSeer, the low-cost video barcode reader using only 640x480-pixel webcam! Anyone who has a USB webcam can turn a PC into a barcode scanner. The cost in this configuration is only the cost of the software, called BarSeer, programmed by us. Unlike the tradition barcode scanner where the specified laser scanning devices and motion mirrors must be used, in BarSeer nothing is moving and therefore you will have much less maintaining headaches.(January 11, 2005, Tucson, Arizona, USA.)

How to Install? Simple Just install Barcode.exe into your PC with a USB webcam plugged in, you can just put any object with a barcode before the camera and the program will locate the barcode, process it and then returns you the number of this barcode. It is very simple to use the entire system. Send an email to sales(at)yangsky(DOT)com to ask for a demo package today!

It's Cheap Since the cheapest USB webcams with the highest resolution of 640x480 pixels are used by our software, the additional hardware expense to your PC-based applications is virtually zero because such USB webcams have price tags as low as 19 US dollars in USA and 100RMB in China. The similar products need much higher video resolution such as 1024 to 2048 pixels per row to achieve the same goal.

It's Smart and Cognitive What makes a BarSeer so cheap, yet, so powerful? Different from other vision barcode readers, BarSeer used the advanced computational cognition technology and
computational verb theory. Therefore, BarSeer can mimic human cognitive ability such as attention and awareness. Try it yourself the following functions. First, BarSeer only locate processable
barcode regions. For barcode that is too far away or too blur, it just ignores it to save you CPU time.

This is the unique cognitive vision feedback technology used in BarSeer. No other vision barcode readers used this advanced technology. Second, BarSeer is fast because it uses very few
computer resources and can be run in the background for your specific applications. This is because image processing by using computational verbs is much faster than conventional digital image processing technologies that used by other vision barcode readers. Third, since BarSeer use two dimensional image information of barcodes, it is more robust than a laser scanner.
