C++: Barcode Detection

Barcodes can be used in a wide range of robotics and software applications. That’s why we integrated a barcode reader into Daisykit. The core algorithms of the barcode reader are from the Zxing-CPP project (opens in a new tab). This barcode processor can read QR codes and bar codes in different formats.

Source code: src/examples/demo_barcode_scanner.cpp.

using namespace daisykit::flows;
 
int main(int, char**) {
  std::ifstream t("configs/barcode_scanner_config.json");
  std::string config_str((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(t)),
                         std::istreambuf_iterator<char>());
 
  BarcodeScannerFlow flow(config_str);
 
  Mat frame;
  VideoCapture cap(0);
 
  while (1) {
    cap >> frame;
    cv::Mat rgb;
    cv::cvtColor(frame, rgb, cv::COLOR_BGR2RGB);
 
    std::string result = flow.Process(rgb, true);
    if (!result.empty()) {
      std::cout << "New Scan Finished" << std::endl;
      std::cout << result << std::endl;
    }
 
    cv::Mat draw;
    cv::cvtColor(rgb, draw, cv::COLOR_RGB2BGR);
    imshow("Image", draw);
    waitKey(1);
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Update the configurations by modifying config files in assets/configs.
