ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for characterizing the performance of either a printer used to print a two-dimensional symbol or an imaging system used to generate an gray-scale image of the printed symbol. After the image is generated, an acquisition target of the symbol is located. The fast Fourier transform of the gray-scale image is generated and certain hexagon-position quality measures are computed to characterize the quality of the acquisition target.
