• DPM Barcode Optimization – Improves recognition rate for Direct Part Marking (DPM) barcodes commonly used in industrial and manufacturing environments.

New

• Added BarcodeZoneWidthToHeightRatioRangeArray parameter for filtering barcodes based on aspect ratio constraints.
• Added SetResultCrossVerificationCriteria and GetResultCrossVerificationCriteria methods to MultiFrameResultCrossFilter for configurable multi-frame result verification.

Changed

• Barcode text encoding fallback changed from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 when no ECI information is present in the barcode.
• Updated default value of compensation parameter in ImageProcessor.ConvertToBinaryLocal from 0 to 10.
• ConvertToBinaryGlobal and ConvertToBinaryLocal of ImageProcessor class now support color and binary images as input in addition to grayscale images.

Removed
