PREVIOUS PROJECTS

My previous research projects mainly include the Auto-Recognition Algorithm for 2-Dimensional Barcode and its application in Mobile Phone Camera Based Calling Card Recognition System. Later, I implemented my algorithm in the Windows CE System of mobile phones. This enables a mobile phone to automatically recognize the 2-dimesional barcodes from photos taken by its camera, and then decode the information from the barcodes.
