Erroneous Bounds of UPC Symbol

kthxbye — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:44:41 GMT

We encountered erroneous bounds during certain circumstances. See attached images.
The returned values for the symbol bounds are out of bounds, e.g. larger than the actual
image (some 100 000) or even negative.
I couldn't reproduce the error with the PC demonstrator but with the example project we
received for our embedded platform.
Version: 8.12.0
This are the settings to reproduce the error:
S 40011001 1 ' UPC enabled
S 40011006 1 ' improve bounds UPC
S 40005003 10000 ' OP Mode: UNOP

All other parameters were not changed.

This issue is urgent, our customer is expecting a fix soon.

kthxbye

ImageConvert.dll -> ConvertTo Method

dwparmanand — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:58:23 GMT

Hi All. I wish to use the ImageCovert.dll to format a GIF into a PDF file. Any help on telling me what the OutPutFormat command is for ConvertImage method would be appreciated.

This is what i have so far.

                    ' Save to memory using the Gif format
                    NewBitmap.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Gif)
                    'Save the file temporarily for conversion
                    SaveMemoryStream(ms, GIFTempLocation & "\" & strNow & ".Gif")

'convert image to PDF file file
objV.ConvertImage("Some OutPutFormat Here!!!", GIFTempLocation & "\" & strNow & ".Gif", GIFTempLocation & "\" & strNow & ".pdf")

Dont know the type into insert here ...

Thank you.

Data Matrix not decoding

Swift decoder platform compatibility

Whether it will work on java platform 1.3
Support of Linux OS
Will it integrate with a java application build on java platform 1.3
Hows is the engine packaged like dll etc.

Strange bounds of UPC symbol

kthxbye — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:43:00 GMT

The bounds of the attached UPC code are out of range,
as coordinates of the rectangle I get

x0 = 107
y0 = 159

x1 = 107
y1 = 363

x2 = 107
y2 = 159

x3 = 107
y3 = 363

If I move the code a little bit in the field of view, the bounds are okay.
If I switch SD_PROP_UPC_IMPROVE_BOUNDS to 0, it is also better though not accurate.

kthxbye

Continuation of Code 128 Problem

rhoobler — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:50:46 GMT

I continue to have a problems with a Code 128 bar code. The HHP 4820 is reading this with no problem. The encoded data should be the text shown below the bar code.

A quick response to the cause and potential resolution would be highly appreciated.

thread safe

dfick — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:07:45 GMT

Is the SwfitDecoder dll threadsafe in a Windows system?

Code 128 Cannot be decoded

rhoobler — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:54:15 GMT

The attached Code 128 bar code cannot be decoded. I believe this is the same codeword gap that was improved a couple of months ago. Can you confirm that? Is it possible to once again improve the algorithm to pick this up? This is for a very important client, so I'm hoping for an answer/solution quickly.

UPC Check Digit

rhoobler — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:53:00 GMT

I would like to request that an option to strip the check digit from a UPC bar code be added to SwiftDecoder. Can this be added?

Datamatrix could not be decoded

ankur.kamdar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:38:20 GMT

The attached data matrix does not decode for me, does it decode for you?

AGC Function result useless

kthxbye — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:55:24 GMT

Attached you find an image where SD_ComputeAGC() resulted in a value of 0.
The image should be okay and an decoding attempt is successfull.

If the image content in the lower LEFT corner is more structured/textured,
SD_ComputeAGC() computes a more reasonable value.

kthxbye

Difficulties decoding Data Matrix

kthxbye — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:48:56 GMT

I attached 2 images, one can be decoded within ~100ms (total system time) the other one
fails after ~1400ms. The images are prefiltered by our filter which outputs a binary image in this case.

Why does it take so long to issue a fail / why can't the code be decoded?
Is Swift Decoder not optimized to decode binary images?

kthxbye

Trouble getting in contact with sales

Per Christian Moen — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:58:14 GMT

We are a returning customer and would like to order more licenses. We've tried the request for quote form several times, sent mails to our contact David Abbondanzio and calling the phone number on the contact us page. But we've not yet gotten a reply. We have have also contacted a Norwegian reseller of Metrologic and Honeywell equipment. They the have also not succeeded in getting hold of anybody.

Could somebody please help us get in contact with sales.

Unicode and 64-bit support

yzhang — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:07:38 GMT

Hello,

This is Yong Zhang with Perceptive Software. We're currently using SwiftDecoder 8.5.2. I am working on finding all the information about unicode and 64-bit support by this SDK. So far I haven't found it supports unicode or has 64-bit version. So do you have 64-bit version of it? Can you also please answer following questions for Unicode?
Level of support for unicode - what version of unicode standard do you support?
Encodings - what unicode encodings are you using?
What languages are you localized into?
GUI support? If we expose your GUI is it unicode capable?
What kind of support do you have to right to left display?

If SwiftDecoder doesn't support unicode or have 64-bit version at all, do you have any plan for them?

Thanks,

Yong

Subregion values

kthxbye — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:40:04 GMT

The pixel density tells the decoder the dimensions width/height of the image in millimeter.

1.) What happens if the width/height/top/bottom values of the subregion property exceed the meaningful range?
How is the decoder handling those out of range values? Are there internal plausibility checks?

2.) Do the subregions have a "soft" border? Are codes that are outside the region but
very close to the border sometimes decoded?

kthxbye

Problem reading 3 of 9

Adam — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:09:32 GMT

Hi, I have this image of a 3 of 9 barcode created using the Free 3 of 9 font in microsoft word, and I can't seem to get swiftdecoder to recognize any of the barcodes on it. Would you be able to take a look at it and let me know what is causing the problem? We are able to recognize it using other decoding software.

Thanks

Adam
