Abstract

For scanning optical patterns, such as two-dimensional QR codes, with a mobile device at increased distances, a first image is acquired. A region of interest likely containing the optical pattern in the first image is identified. The mobile device then zooms in on the region of interest and a second image is acquired. The optical pattern is then decoded using the second image.
