FAQs

Which image formats are supported for Data Matrix barcode recognition and generation?

The SDK supports over 100 image formats, including Bitmap, Metafile, and PDF, enabling seamless integration with various document types

Can the SDK detect multiple Data Matrix barcodes within a single image?

Yes, it can detect and process multiple Data Matrix barcodes from black & white, grayscale, palletized, and color images, enhancing efficiency in batch processing scenarios.

What information does the SDK provide upon successful barcode recognition?

Upon recognizing a Data Matrix barcode, the SDK returns the decoded string value, the bounding box coordinates (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right), and the number of rows and columns of each barcode, facilitating precise data extraction and localization.

Is the SDK capable of reading barcodes from various color image types?

Yes, the SDK can accurately read Data Matrix barcodes from black & white, grayscale, palletized, and color images, ensuring versatility across different image sources

Does the SDK support error correction for damaged or partially obscured barcodes?

The SDK incorporates Error Correcting Codes (ECC) algorithms, enabling the recognition and reconstruction of partially damaged or obscured Data Matrix symbols, thereby enhancing reliability in real-world applications

Can the SDK process barcodes within a specific region of an image?

Yes, developers can define a Region of Interest (ROI) within an image, allowing the SDK to focus on and process Data Matrix barcodes located in that specific area, which is useful for documents with multiple data zones.

Is the GdPicture.NET Data Matrix Code Reader SDK optimized for high-performance applications?

The SDK is designed for high-speed scanning and is optimized for performance, ensuring rapid barcode detection across various file formats, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient processing.
