ABSTRACT:
Binary image processing techniques are provided for decoding bitmap image space representations of self-clocking glyph shape codes of various types (e.g., codes presented as original or degraded images, with one or a plurality of bits encoded in each glyph, while preserving the discriminability of glyphs that encode different bit values) and for tracking the number and locations of the ambiquities (sometimes referred to herein as "errors") that are encountered during the decoding of such codes. A substantial portion of the image processing that is performed in the illustrated embodiment of this invention is carried out through the use of morphological filtering operations because of the parallelism that is offered by such operations. Moreover, the error detection that is performed in accordance with this invention may be linked to or compared against the error statistics from one or more alternative decoding process, such as the convolution filtering process that is disclosed herein, to increase the reliability of the decoding that is obtained.
