Fast Barcode Detection

LEADTOOLS barcode recognition is very fast; it outperforms most hardware-supported barcode read products. This software engine permits fast document scanners to maintain full speed while performing barcode recognition operations on the fly for document-indexing purposes.

Barcodes are located and reported back in as little as .025 seconds (Letter 8.5x11"@300DPI, P-133, 32MB). Multiple barcodes in a single page are reported back in approximately .1 seconds. Barcode type detection is automatic and reading is independent of orientation and skew.

Developers have the ability to provide optional configuration settings affecting the detection speed, including number of barcodes expected, barcode orientation, and potential location of barcodes. This flexibility in search parameters can improve the speed of barcode detection.

Application Examples:

Manufacturing
A component with its complete history marked on it will not end up in the wrong assembly.

Warehouse
A label on a box tells what's inside, and not what the database thinks should be inside.

Imaging
Documents with a machine legible symbol do not require OCR processing.

Send data by facsimile
Create field reports with QR Code barcode symbols and fax them to a central station. ECC makes it error free.

Bank checks
A QR Code barcode symbol with encrypted user data prevents tampering and is more reliable than OCR.

Medical
Eliminate the database and affix a machine-legible symbol with all of your text to a specimen or drug.

Credit and ATM cards
An optical symbol like QR Code reads more reliably than a magnetic strip.

Identification Badges
Tamper proof ID holds encrypted data with facial image and fingerprint descriptors.
