DeformationResistingModes

DeformationResistingModes describes how to handle distorted and deformed barcodes. It consists of one or more modes, each mode representing a different way to implement the deformation resistance algorithm.

Candidate Mode List

DRM_GENERAL
DRM_BROAD_WARP
DRM_LOCAL_REFERENCE
DRM_DEWRINKLE
DRM_AUTO

DRM_GENERAL

Resists deformation using the general algorithm. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

Level
LibraryFileName
LibraryParameters

DRM_BROAD_WARP

Resists deformation when the barcode is warped gently. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

BinarizationMode
GrayscaleEnhancementMode

DRM_LOCAL_REFERENCE

Resists deformation for barcodes with minor deformation in local modules. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

BinarizationMode
GrayscaleEnhancementMode

DRM_DEWRINKLE

Resists deformation for barcodes on a wrinkled surface. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

BinarizationMode
GrayscaleEnhancementMode

DRM_AUTO

Lets the library choose a mode automatically.

Setting Methods

As `PublicRuntimeSettings` Member

DeformationResistingModes can be set dynamically during runtime as a member of FurtherModes, which is a member of PublicRuntimeSettings struct, it is an array with 8 DeformationResistingMode Enumeration items.

Code Snippet in C++

//...other codes
PublicRuntimeSettings* pSettings = new PublicRuntimeSettings;
int errorCode = reader->GetRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
pSettings->deformationResistingModes[0] = DRM_GENERAL;
reader->UpdateRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
reader->SetModeArgument("DeformationResistingModes", 0, "Level", "1");
delete pSettings;
//...other codes

Remarks
GetModeArgument and SetModeArgument need to be called for getting and setting Arguments.
