I have a java application which requires to read bar-code from an image to java program. I was very impressed with zxing library which is able to retrieve bar-codes, But not for all the images(I mean if the image quality is slightly poor.).

And another question, What is the most reliable java API/SDK to retrieve bar-codes from images. I already tried, Accusoft, DataSymbol, AtalaSoft, j4l which are paid versions. And have gone through few open sources like Ron Cemer JavaBar. But still I'm looking for a JAVA API/SDK which gives accurate results in bar-code reading.

One option for improving results is some image processing prior to sending into the engine. Try to scale the image up prior to going from Gray/Color to Black and White. A better binarization (gray to b&w) than what is provided in the engine can also help.

Recently, I found this software zbar which gave promising results in reading bar-codes.It has an option of decoding the bar-code from command prompt. Since, it's not an SDK or API. So, I did a trick to read barcodes from an image by java program.

JPEG is a lossy compression and, depending on the level of compression, the resolution of the image and the quality of the image (lighting, contrast, etc) the artifacts introduced by JPEG compression could interfere with the reading of the barcode.

For accuracy of the barcode engines, this varies widely. Certain engines perform better on certain types of barcodes (e.g. Code 128 vs QR code) and on the image quality issues (low resolution vs poor contrast). If you have a wide variety of image quality problems because you can't control the source of the images, you will likely need to go with a commercial engine in order to achieve highest results.

I recently had the same problem: using the ZXing library in a Java application I was decoding QR codes but we often had to process scans of prints with low quality and the rate of recognition of the QR codes needed to be improved. I am adding my findings here in the hope it will help somebody who faces the same problem.

So I tried a bunch of image optimization and enhancing, but nothing really seemed to have a positive effect. Cutting out a subimage where the QR code was placed on the scan sped up the process a lot though.

The image was already grayscale so that did not effect the recognition rate of the QR codes. The last suggestion did not seem to do much either. The second one is a bit strange : resizing with different parameters for width and height stretched out the image and resulted in unrecognizable QR codes. The third suggestion was what I was searching for : adding gaussian blur dramatically increased the recognition rate of QR codes when working with lower quality scans. Adding blur to QR codes of high quality scans lowered the recognition rate, so take care.

I've come across this problem many times over the years and still live in hope that there is an easy way to do this that I have missed.I work with barcodes a lot. They are usually made of black dots or lines on a white background. Barcode readers generally work faster and more accurately when the edges are crisp and then size of the lines or dots are precise.

Most barcode generation algorithms will give you a compact barcode usually with the smallest element size being one pixel. A typical QR code could fit in a 21 x 21 grid. This would be too small to see if printed pixel to pixel on most printers and would typically be scaled up. The result of scaling it up depends on the method used and although sometimes you are given a choice, often you have no options that make the image suitable. Even printing directly will often give you expected gray artefacts or forms of dithering. The most consistent way I have found is to scale the images before they are use daily in other places such as Microsoft Word, lightburn and a few others I use that still give me a headache.

My current best resolution is not pretty, it is slow and although I could improve the speed by locking the bits in the bitmap, I am hoping someone has a really simple answer that I had totally missed on my search again this time.

Below I created a small test program to go through all the different modes I know of and then generate a matrix of images which I have reproduced below. The version I currently use is Mode 99 which involves inspecting each pixel and drawing a square.

In your case, I'd prepare the original bitmap with one pixel per logical dot with respect to the geometric dimensions of your pattern (e.g. at 21 x 21) Then I'd resize that bitmap to a printable/displayable output format using Interpolationmode.NearestNeighbor sampling using the code I'm providing below.

To obtain what you want from single pixel cells/modulus, you can use any image magnification function with a size that is an exact multiple of your original image, using the nearest neighbor resampling rule, and no other.

Regular barcode (=vertical stripes) is recognized by the relative width of the lines. Thus, the horizontal height only matters for robustness against diagonal scanning. If the codes are scanned with a hand scanner, I'd just scale the height (or crop the image). In any case, the different widths of the lines should still be clearly visible. There may be compliance rules suggesting minimum proportions for a given barcode standard.

2) If the module width is not a whole number of pixels, produce a barcode where the width of each module is the truncated whole number and use bilinear interpolation to scale up. This will give you at most one pixel of gradient at the edges.

3) Be careful when buying a barcode library, choose one that includes built-in scaling that preserves the barcode, such as this one or this one. Barcodes have special demands that image processing normally does not have, such as pixel-perfection. Using e.g. Gimp might damage the barcode.

I'm creating barcodes on the fly, and embedding them in web pages. What format should I use? I'm wavering between JPG and PNG, and I don't really understand the advantages of both. Size matters in this, as does readability (better a clear barcode than a blurry one). Is there another format that would be better yet?

PNG, or even GIF. Jpeg is right out, because it's designed for the smooth gradients of photographs, not the sharp edges of bar codes. Draw a simple Bar code by hand in MS Paint, save it, and then reload it, you'll see all kinds of compression artifacts.

PNG is the better option between PNG and JPG. The main issue here is of compression - there are two forms of compression techniques in images, lossy and lossless. Lossy compression algorithms (such as the one used by JPG files) "lose" information during the compression->decompression cycle. Because of this, there will be artifacts in your image. PNG, on the other hand, uses lossless compression, so the displayed image will be exactly the same as the original, uncompressed imagery prior to the initial saving.

In the case of barcodes, the exact pixel-by-pixel placement of black/white is very important (that's the entire point), so using a lossy compression routine like JPG could be very bad. If you're using a 2D barcode, it will be even worse, and your scanner may have a very difficult time reading the barcode accurately. PNG will completely eliminate this problem.

You might need to customize the letter: there will be .png image files referenced in the XSL. For the fix, you will just need to prefix each PNG with "cid:" (for example: "Barcode.png" will become "cid:Barcode.png").

Here's what's happening:

For all of the barcode information, it is sent in the e-mail as image attachments. Most e-mail clients will read the XSL of the letter and know to embed these images in the body of the email. But some clients do not (which can often include printers), and the barcodes stay as attachments. Adding the 'cid' prefix as described above "forces" the images into the body

Hi, I would like to transform a dynamically generated barcode image through a URL generated by this site " -api.metafloor.com/?bcid=code128&text="&MYCODE&"&scale=3&includetext"And I would like to save it in png inside a Sharepoint library.To generate the image I'm using Power Apps, the part of using the flow already set up but I don't know which triggers and actions I use to save as png in sharepoint.
