A computer implemented method and system for processing a low quality captured image of a barcode of any type having a large amount of data is provided. An image processing application on a computing device acquires the captured image of the barcode, determines the type, for example, format, shape, etc., of the barcode in the acquired image of the barcode, and creates a gray barcode image from the acquired image of the barcode by gray shading over an entirety of the acquired image of the barcode.

Encoded symbols of a concatenated convolutional-encoded and block encoded signal are presented to a conventional first stage of a concatenated decoder, comprising in sequence a soft metric generator, a Viterbi decoder, a first de-interleaver and a first block decoder such as a Reed-Solomon decoder. The encoded symbols are also presented to a delay chain to produce progressively delayed encoded symbols. Where an output block of the conventional decoder is indicated as being a valid codeword by the first block decoder, the bytes in this block are marked as being correct. These bytes that are known to be correct are then used after interleaving and serialisation as known bits input to a second stage of the decoder process operating on the delayed encoded symbols and incorporating a modified soft metric generator constrained by the known bits. This process can be extended to further iterations as required. A modified Viterbi decoder, which is also constrained by the known bits, may also be used in the second and subsequent iterative stages.

Efficient operations in image or video decoding. For example, a tool such as an image or video decoder receives and decodes encoded data for a picture in a bitstream. As part of the decoding, the tool adapts a multi-symbol lookup table to use in decoding of symbols then decodes the symbols using the multi-symbol lookup table, producing exactly correct results. The tool can also perform selectively truncated inverse frequency transforms. For a given block, the tool identifies upper horizontal and vertical frequencies among non-zero coefficients for the block and, based on the upper frequency values, selectively applies a simplified inverse frequency transform to transform coefficients for the block without hurting decoding quality. Using restart markers in the bitstream, the tool can organize multiple blocks of the picture as partitions. The tool decodes at least some of the partitions in parallel on a partition-by-partition basis using multiple processing cores.
