Barcode localization is the main challenge in developing an imagebased barcode reading system.Bar codes are able to carry both explicit information and a database key, by encoding a series of characters or symbols.This paper deals with localization of European Article Number-13 (EAN-13) barcode in an image.A new approach for detecting and locating bar-codes is introduced here, which is based on the curvelet transform.All extracted feature by curvelet transform are applied to the neural network for training and testing.The performance of the proposed work shows efficient result.
