Enum BarCodeConfidence

BarCodeConfidence enumeration

Contains recognition confidence level

public enum BarCodeConfidence

Values

NameValueDescription
None0Recognition confidence of barcode where codetext was not recognized correctly or barcode was detected as posible fake
Moderate80Recognition confidence of barcode (mostly 1D barcodes) with weak checksumm or even without it. Could contains some misrecognitions in codetext or even fake recognitions if is low
Strong100Recognition confidence which was confirmed with BCH codes like Reed–Solomon. There must not be errors in read codetext or fake recognitions

Examples

This sample shows how BarCodeConfidence changed, depending on barcode type

[C#]
//Moderate confidence
using (BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.Code128, "12345"))
{
    generator.Save(@"c:\test.png");
}
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(@"c:\test.png", DecodeType.Code39, DecodeType.Code128))
{
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Type: " + result.CodeTypeName);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Confidence: " + result.Confidence);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode ReadingQuality: " + result.ReadingQuality);
    }
}

//Strong confidence
using (BarcodeGenerator generator = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.QR, "12345"))
{
    generator.Save(@"c:\test.png");
}
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(@"c:\test.png", DecodeType.Code39, DecodeType.QR))
{
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Type: " + result.CodeTypeName);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode CodeText: " + result.CodeText);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode Confidence: " + result.Confidence);
        Console.WriteLine("BarCode ReadingQuality: " + result.ReadingQuality);
    }
}
