Abstract
The paper includes three aspects ,firstly we are going to replicate the commercial barcode scanner (i.e HC2D barcode and
QR-code) on the mobile device which operates on Android. Secondly using this application in Inventory management and Employee
work tracking. Thirdly using Google Analytics for product tracking, automatic report generation. Our main goal is to decode the
barcode images in real-time, quickly and efficiently. This involves improving the image decoding algorithms and choosing efficient image
manipulation and barcode libraries .Here our focus is basically on implementing reader for HC2D barcode. The HC2D is a high
capacity two dimensional barcode. Barcode represents data using lines, rectangles and spacing between them. For reading the HC2D
barcode, the bit representation of the barcode is obtained by scanning the image of the barcode with scanner machine only. A HC2D
barcode is a 2D barcode which consists of a black square pattern on white background. The HC2D barcode contains information in the
vertical direction as well as the horizontal direction. Here we propose a system to read a HC2D barcode in real time mode using the
embedded camera device in mobile phones. The proposed system consist of algorithm to work on code area found by the 2 vertical line,
one horizontal line and dash line detection of H2CD barcode. Thus our proposed system works in real time environment and eliminates
all the drawbacks of earlier systems.
