In a decoding method, photoelectric conversion is performed on light reflected by a code image, a read signal indicating intensity of the reflected light is produced, and the produced read signal is differentiated to produce a derivative signal. The inflection points of intensity of the reflected light in the read signal are detected from the derivative signal and peak levels, each of which is an extreme value of the intensity of the reflected light, the peak level corresponding to a width between the detected inflection points, are detected. A difference between the detected peak levels is then obtained and threshold values for decoding the read signal are set from the obtained difference. This enables the read signal to be decoded even when the code image is spotted with a stain or its printing quality is inferior or even when the read signal is read in its defocus state.

1. A decoding method comprising: a first step of performing photoelectric conversion on light reflected by an object to be read and producing a read signal indicating intensity of the reflected light;a second step of differentiating the read signal produced in the first step to produce a derivative signal;a third step of: detecting inflection points of intensity of the reflected light in the read signal from the derivative signal produced in the second step,detecting peak levels, each of which is an extreme value of the intensity of the reflected light, and each of which corresponds to a width length between the detected inflection points, anddetermining whether or not the difference between the peak levels is larger than a predetermined value, wherein, when a result of the determining is greater than the predetermined value, the threshold value is set from the width lengths and when a result of the determining is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the threshold value is set from the peak levels;a fourth step of: obtaining a difference between the peak levels detected in the third step, andsetting a threshold value for decoding the read signal from the obtained difference between the peak levels; anda fifth step of decoding the read signal based on the threshold value set in the fourth step. 2. The decoding method according to claim 1, wherein in the second step, width length between the inflection points and the peak levels are aggregated and a normal value region relating to the width length and the peak levels is set based on the aggregation result, and the width length and the peak level outside the set normal value region are deleted as noise. 3. The decoding method according to claim 1, wherein in the third step, frequency distribution of the peak levels detected in the second step is obtained, and the threshold value for decoding the read signal is set based on the obtained frequency distribution. 4. A decoding-processing apparatus comprising: a read signal producing portion which performs photoelectric conversion on light reflected by an object to be read and produces a read signal indicating intensity of the reflected light;a derivative signal producing portion which differentiates the read signal produced in the read signal producing portion to produce a derivative signal;a binarization portion which binarizes the read signal based on the derivative signal produced in the derivative signal producing portion; anda decoding portion which: decodes the read signal that has been binarized by the binarization portion, wherein the binarization portion detects inflection points of intensity of the reflected light in the read signal from the derivative signal and detects peak levels, each of which is an extreme value of the intensity of the reflected light, the peak level corresponding to a width length between the detected inflection points,obtains a difference between the peak levels detected by the binarization portion,sets a threshold value for decoding the read signal from the obtained difference between the peak levels,decodes the read signal based on the set threshold value, anddetermines whether or not the difference between the peal levels is larger than a predetermined value, wherein, when the determined result is greater than the predetermined value, the threshold value is set from the width lengths, and when the determined result is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the threshold value is set from the peak levels.
