Bar and QR code detector

This project is forked from zbar library, I added few modifications, so webcam can be used as an image reader to detect QR and Bar codes.

• Pure python
• Works with PIL / Pillow images, OpenCV / numpy ndarrays, and raw bytes
• Decodes locations of barcodes
• No dependencies, other than the zbar library itself
• Tested on Python 2.7, and Python 3.4 to 3.6

Here is a quick look of the final output:
