A simple POC Java application using zxing to extract a comic book barcode from an image
This project is a very simple implementation and example of using the zxing library to extract a comic book barcode. This was written as a first test to see if zxing could handle the "supplementary barcode" on modern comic books - commonly called UPC or EAN extensions, EAN-2 or EAN-5 depending on length, and known in the barcode-world as addenda codes.
