Image Enhancing Software:

Image Enhancing Software: When a picture of a linear bar code is taken with a phone camera, the image may not be very clear. I need a software that will enhance the image if necessary and then extract the bar coding information. At this stage the software does not have to run on a cell phone. This is the proof of concept stage so all that is required is to develop the software to run on a regular PC. The language of choice will be VB.NET 2.0 Since this is a proof of concept I want it to be in a language that is easy to understand. So the main objective is to extract bar coding information form a picture taken by an average cell phone camera. This is the first stage of a much larger project. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
