Parameter Summary

Mode Arguments

Parameter RegionPredetectionModes consist of a group of region predetection mode objects. Each region predetection mode object includes a candidate mode and a series of mode arguments. The mode arguments of the region predetection mode object is shown as follow:

FindAccurateBoundary (Optional)	Description Sets whether to enable finding accurate boundary: 0: disable. 1: enable.
	Type int
	Range [0,1]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_RGB_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_GRAY_CONTRAST
ForeAndBackgroundColours (Required by RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST )	Description Specifies a set (or multiple sets) of the foreground and background colours used for region predetection algorithm based on HSV colour space:
	Type String
	Substruct Define one range: "[ForegroundColour,BackgroundColour,Tolerance]" Define multiple ranges: "[ForegroundColour,BackgroundColour,Tolerance];[ForegroundColour,BackgroundColour,Tolerance];..."
	Range ForegroundColour: [-1,360] BackgroundColour: [-1,360] Tolerance: [0, 360]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST
HeightRange (Optional)	Description Specifies a set (or multiple sets) of height range for filtering the predetected region. The height is measured by the height of the bounding rect of the predetected region.
	Type String
	Substruct Define one range: "[MinHeight, MaxHeight]" Define multiple ranges: "[MinHeight, MaxHeight];[MinHeight, MaxHeight];..."
	Range MinHeight: [1, 0x7fffffff] MaxHeight: [1, 0x7fffffff]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST
WidthRange (Optional)	Description Specifies a set (or multiple sets) of width range for filtering the predetected region. The width is measured by the width of the bounding rect of the predetected region.
	Type String
	Substruct Define one range: "[MinWidth, MaxWidth]" Define multiple ranges: "[MinWidth, MaxWidth];[MinWidth, MaxWidth];..."
	Range A string value representing height range sets.
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST
MinImageDimension (Optional)	Description Sets the minimum image dimension (in pixels) to enable region pre-detection. The library will enable the region pre-detection feature only when the image dimension is larger than the given value.
	Type int
	Range [16384, 0x7fffffff]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_RGB_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_GRAY_CONTRAST
RelativeRegions (Optional)	Description Sets the barcode regions relative to the pre-detected region.
	Type String
	Substruct Define one region: "[Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Index]" Define multiple region: "[Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Index];[Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Index];..."
	Range Left, Top, Right, Bottom: [-10000,10000] Index: [-1,0x7fffffff]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST
	Remarks Parameters Left, Top, Right, Bottom are measured in percentage. Parameter Index points to a specific colour that set in ForeAndBackgroundColours. Set it to -1 to apply the current RelativeRegion to all ForeAndBackgroundColours.
Sensitivity (Optional)	Description Sets the sensitivity used for region predetection algorithm, a larger value means the library will take more effort to detect regions.
	Type int
	Range [1,9]
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_RGB_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_GRAY_CONTRAST
SpatialIndexBlockSize (Optional)	Description Sets the spatial index block size used for region predetection algorithm. The block size used for region predetection would be 2 to the power of N. The allowed values of SpatialIndexBlockSize is the power number (N=1,2,3…).
	Type int
	Range [1, 32]
	Default Value 5
	Valid For RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_RGB_CONTRAST RPM_GENERAL_GRAY_CONTRAST

	Type String
	Range A string value representing file name.
	Default Value ""
	Valid For All modes.
LibraryParameters (Optional)	Description The library must be in the same place with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader Library.
	Type String
	Range A string value representing parameters.
	Default Value ""
