Improvement to the recognition of QrCodes that have part of …
Most barcodes store text information but 2-D barcodes (such as QR-Code, Datamatrix and PDF-417) can also be used to store binary data. This article explains how to get at the binary data using the Softek Barcode Reader Toolkit. 2-D barcodes don’t have any way of telling the barcode reader how they’ve been encoded so it’s …
Version 9.1.4 of the barcode reader SDK has been released. This applies to both the Windows version and the Linux/OSX/iOS/Android version. Most of the changes apply to 2-D barcode recognition as follows: The requirement for a minimum distance between 2 identical 2-D barcodes has been removed. A new property called Min2DLength (minimum length of a …

Here’s some C code that shows how to read an opencv cv::Mat image using the barcode reader toolkit. The main points to note are: Read the image using the cv::IMREAD_GRAYSCALE flag Flip the image vertically Align the scan lines to 4 byte boundaries #include <barcode.h> #include <iostream> #include <opencv2/core/core.hpp> #include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp> #include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp> static void …
If you are handling binary data in barcodes such as you find in some 2-D barcodes (PDF417, QrCode or DataMatrix) then the following method will allow you to create a byte array that contains the original binary data from the barcode – including all the null and 8-bit values. 1. Using Quoted printable Encoding barcode.Encoding …
