BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan(Int32,BarcodeAztecReaderScanMode) Method

In This Topic

Starts a barcode recognition process on a specified GdPicture image or on an area of a specified GdPicture image defined by the GdPictureImaging.SetROI method. This method allows you to set the scanning mode parameter according to your preference.

)

)

public:
GdPictureStatus BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan( 
   int ImageID,
   BarcodeAztecReaderScanMode ScanMode
)

Parameters

ImageID: A unique image identifier of the GdPicture image representing the image in use.
ScanMode: A member of the BarcodeAztecReaderScanMode enumeration. The scan mode (speed or quality) used for scanning process.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method will try to detect all available barcodes. You can use the GdPictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan method and set the ExpectedCount parameter to 1 and StopOnExpectedCount to true, to stop the recognition process after the first barcode is found.

Example

Finding Aztec barcodes in an image and writing complete barcodes info in a file.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image.jpg", false);
 
    // Perform scanning at best speed, ignoring very damaged barcodes.
    BarcodeAztecReaderScanMode mode = BarcodeAztecReaderScanMode.BestSpeed;
 
    // Start the Aztec barcode scanning process and look for all Aztec barcodes.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderDoScan(imageID, mode);
 
    // Write all available info into a text file.
    using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("Aztec.txt"))
    {
        int barcodesFound = gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeCount();
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= barcodesFound; i++)
        {
            // Decoded information.
            file.WriteLine("Decoded info = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeValue(i));
 
            // The raw bytes decoded. It was post-processed to find the correct decoded info based on detected Encoding.
            file.WriteLine("Raw bytes = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeValueRAW(i));
 
            // The barcode position, given by the coordinates of the corners.
            file.WriteLine("Position =  Top-Left=["
                + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeX1(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeY1(i)
                + "] Top-Right=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeX2(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeY2(i)
                + "] Bottom-Right=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeX3(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeY3(i)
                + "] Bottom-Left=[" + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeX4(i) + ", " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderGetBarcodeY4(i) + "]");
        }
    }
 
    // Release used resources.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodeAztecReaderClear();
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
