# DecodedBarcodeElement Class

The `DecodedBarcodeElement` class represents a decoded barcode element. It inherits from the `RegionObjectElement` class and provides additional functionality for retrieving information about the decoded barcode.

## Definition

*Module:* dbr

*Inheritance:* [RegionObjectElement](https://www.dynamsoft.com/capture-vision/docs/server/programming/python/api-reference/core/intermediate-results/region-object-element.md) -> DecodedBarcodeElement

```python
class DecodedBarcodeElement(RegionObjectElement)
```
