NTSC puts some constraints on you as far as how fast you need to be, to pick up the bars, I suppose you might rotate the camera 90 degrees, and use the Hsync to count the width of the bars.. If you're meaning to pick up a barcode that's a small scene within the larger picture, possibly at some wierd angle, that would be an interesting challenge. -- Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9 -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
