Barcode Synthesizer

Creates a set of realistically looking barcode images and a textfile containing the values.

Motivation

There is a lack of useful barcodes datasets e.g. for training a barcode-decoder network.
So I started writing a script that creates such a dataset with a barcode generator and rotates the barcodes in the 3D-plane, adds noise, changes brightness and intensity and adds blurring.
The goal is to reduce the reality gap as much as possible.
