Smartphones and tablets are increasingly used to scan visual codes that act as physical hyperlinks to digital information [1]. Compared with the outstanding performance of enterprise laser scanners, smartphone cameras often suffer from defocus and motion blur. In this project, we propose to turn every smartphone into an enterprise-grade barcode scanner by adapting the latest research results in photograph restoration to the very specific properties of barcode images.
