Barcode and QR Code Reading with Edge AI

Detecting and decoding barcodes or QR codes from camera images on-device. Modern ML-based approaches handle damaged, partially occluded, or angled codes that traditional decoders reject. Combines localization with decoding logic running entirely on the MCU. Used in warehouse inventory management, asset tracking, point-of-sale terminals, and healthcare specimen tracking where network-independent scanning is required.
