Decode Unreadable Barcodes with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader's Custom Scan Parameters
Binarized image produced by Dynamsoft Barcode Reader:
JSON Template (help):
Issue: It’s very common that an image taken may present some shadows. The barcode area with uneven lighting is a very challenging decoding situation that many scanners fail to read.
Solution:
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader provides an adaptive binarization mode (BM_LOCAL_BLOCK) which caters to different lighting areas in the image in order to successfully decode these challenging barcodes.
