1-D & 2-D BARCODES
Nowadays, Barcodes are everywhere. Safety and liability are also drivers behind industry adoption of barcodes. In recent years, governments around the world have started to require medical devices and pharmaceutical manufacturers to apply machine-readable codes on every package down to individual medicine containers.
The first barcodes implemented worldwide were 1-D barcodes. These linear codes only contain alphanumeric data. 1-D barcodes can be EAN, ITF, UPC, Code-39, Code-128, etc.
Unlike 1-D barcodes, 2-D matrix codes contain information both horizontally and vertically, allowing them to store much more data. 2-D barcodes include Data Matrix, QR code, Pharma Code, etc.

MACHINE VISION
Machine Vision is the discipline that encompasses imaging technologies and methods to perform automatic inspection and analysis in various applications, such as verification, measurement, process control, etc. While human inspectors working on assembly lines visually inspect parts to judge the quality of workmanship, it often results in innumerable faults from time to time. To achieve better productivity and result, machine vision system is more likely to provide better solution in most cases.
Usually vision systems are designed to work in on-line applications, where they have an immediate impact on the manufacturing process (real-time systems). Manufacturers often prefer machine vision systems for visual inspections that require high speed, high magnification, around-the-clock operation, and/or repeatability of measurements.
