A logistics composite code identification method based on multitask depth learning comprises a method for acquiring logistics composite code images in all directions, a 
label design scheme convenientfor visually detecting and positioning a spray code character, a design scheme suitable for the character positioning of the 
label of the spray code character, a segmented character size, a 
font and an interval among the characters, a composite code design scheme suitable for 
visual identification, a Faster R-CNN network used for detecting and positioning a composite code, an 
algorithm module usedfor composite code 
image rectification and the forward / backward detection of the characters, a multi-task deep 
convolutional neural network used for 
deep learning and training identification, a 
convolutional neural network based on the character identification on the 
label of the spray code character of 
deep learning, the 
algorithm module used for identifying a one-dimensional 
barcode in the composite code, the 
algorithm module used for identifying the two-dimensional 
barcode in the composite code, and a sorting control module used for controlling sorting action according to identified composite code information. In the invention, a problem that a lot of randomly-placed, irregular-shaped, flexible packaging cargos can not be quickly and automatically sorted is effectively solved.
