FIL.DecodeBarcode
Translates an array of bar widths to sequence of digits or text in accordance to the selected barcode standard.
| Namespace: | FilNet |
|---|---|
| Assembly: | FIL.NET.dll |
Syntax
public static void DecodeBarcode ( IList<float> inBarWidths, INullable<string> outDecodedText, out FilNet.BarcodeFormat? outBarcodeFormat )
Parameters
| Name | Type | Range | Default | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | inBarWidths | System.Collections.Generic.IList<float> | Widths of the barcode bars (starting with width of the black bar). | ||
 | outDecodedText | FilNet.INullable<string> | Decoded barcode text or nothing if decoding failed. This parameter cannot be null. | ||
| outBarcodeFormat | FilNet.BarcodeFormat? | Decoded barcode format or nothing if decoding failed. |
Description
This filter is especially useful when a barcode is not provided in a standard black and white printed form.
Use this filter to decode a barcode printed or engraved on circular or distorted surfaces. Also the filter can be used to decode a barcode when one of colors is transparent due to printing on glass or other transparent surface.
It can be useful in decoding damaged codes in which barcode position detection is very complex.
Use the ScanMultipleStripes filter to get the bar widths.
Remarks
Minimal bar width requirement
To provide precise detection of the barcode width of the thinnest bar should be at least 1.5 pixels.
Depending on the barcode format guard or start/end code patterns must be readable.
