- Improved Confidence Scoring – Enhances confidence score calculation for results from neural network models, providing more accurate quality indicators.
- DPM Barcode Optimization – Improves recognition rate for Direct Part Marking (DPM) barcodes commonly used in industrial and manufacturing environments.
New
- Added
BarcodeZoneWidthToHeightRatioRangeArrayparameter for filtering barcodes based on aspect ratio constraints. - Added
setResultCrossVerificationCriteriaandgetResultCrossVerificationCriteriamethods toDSMultiFrameResultCrossFilterfor configurable multi-frame result verification. - Added a new resolution
DSResolutionMaxfor capturing photos at maximum resolution (3024*4032). - Added a new listener
FocusListenerfor receiving callback when the camera focus is completed. You can register the listener viasetFocusListenermethod ofDSCameraEnhancerclass.
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
compensationparameter inDSImageProcessor.convertToBinaryLocalfrom 0 to 10. convertToBinaryGlobalandconvertToBinaryLocalofDSImageProcessorclass now support color and binary images as input in addition to grayscale images.
Removed
