TIEVisionBarCodeScanner.scan


Declaration

function scan(image: TIEVisionImage; const rect: TIEVisionRect): TIEVisionVectorObjRef; safecall;


Description

Look for barcodes within the specified image. Only 24 bit RGB and 8 bit gray scale images are supported.
Returns a list of detected barcodes as TIEVisionBarCodeSymbol objects.

Parameter Description
image Image where to search for barcodes
rect Rectangle of the image where to search for. Setting (0, 0, 0, 0) means the whole image



Note: There is also a shortcut method available: ScanBarcode
