Barcode library or Barcode SDK is a software library that can be used to add barcode features to desktop, web, mobile or embedded applications. Barcode library presents sets of subroutines or objects which allow to create barcode images and put them on surfaces or recognize machine-encoded text / data from scanned or captured by camera images with embedded barcodes.
ZBar is an open-source C barcode reading library with C++, Python, [2] Perl, and Ruby bindings. [3] [4] [5] It is also implemented on Linux and Microsoft Windows as a command-line application, [6] and as an iPhone application. [7] It was originally developed at SourceForge. [8]
ZXing – Multiplatform open source barcode scanner / generator with versions available in Java (core project) and ports to ActionScript, C++, C#, ObjectiveC and Ruby. Python Bar Code 128 – This code appears to draw boxes one pixel wide. It appears it was modified from a short line long line bar code which would have drawn lines.
MicroPDF417 barcode was patented in 1996, [1] by Frederick Schuessler, Kevin Hunter, Sundeep Kumar and Cary Chu from Symbol Technologies company. MicroPDF417 is an extension of PDF417 barcode [6] and uses the same principles of data encoding. [2] Before 2006, the standard can be obtained only from AIM store [7] as ITS MicroPDF417 standard. [8]
The data format [7] was proprietary, and was scrambled so the barcode data could not be read as plain text. However, the barcode itself is closely related to Code 128, and the scanner was also capable of reading EAN/UPC and other symbologies, such as Priority Mail, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, 2-of-5 interleaved, CODABAR, CODE39, CODE128, and ...
PDF417 is a stacked barcode that can be read with a simple linear scan being swept over the symbol. [4] Those linear scans need the left and right columns with the start and stop code words. Additionally, the scan needs to know what row it is scanning, so each row of the symbol must also encode its row number.
The earliest, and still [when?] the cheapest, barcode scanners are built from a fixed light and a single photosensor that is manually moved across the barcode. Barcode scanners can be classified into three categories based on their connection to the computer. The older type is the RS-232 barcode scanner. This type requires special programming ...
Laser barcode scanners utilize a semiconductor laser diode to produce a laser beam. This beam is directed by a deflection mirror onto a polygon mirror wheel. The design may include a focusing device, enabling the scanner to adjust the beam to scan at various distances. [2] The scanner deflects the laser beam using a rotating mirror wheel.
