During the pandemic, the demand for camera apps is booming due to the social distancing situation. So, I collected some basic OpenCV webcam sample code implemented in different programming languages and built some simple web apps for remote webcam access. Hopefully, it will be helpful for someone who is getting started to build webcam apps. In this article, I will use JavaScript, C#, Python, and Golang.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article sharing how to read driver’s license information from PDF417 on Android. Comparing to building an Android native camera app, building a web camera app is much easier. In this article, let’s take a glimpse at a JavaScript sample, which is implemented with a few lines of code by invoking Dynamsoft JavaScript barcode SDK.

Start and stop characters are defined as part of linear barcode (1D barcode) standard. However, you may suffer from some nonstandard 1D barcode symbologies in which the start and stop characters are somehow changed. In this article, I will take Code39 as an example, demonstrating how to decode nonstandard 1D barcodes using Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK.

According to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) specification, PDF417 symbology is used for storing personal information on US driver’s license. In this article, I will use Google mobile vision APIs to recognize a driver’s license. Besides, I will create a similar Android barcode reader app to extract information from PDF417 symbology by Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK.

When I was trying to run a barcode reader app compiled by MinGW GCC on Windows 10, I got an error message “The procedure entry point _ZNSt18condition_variable10notify_oneEv could not be located in the dynamic link library”. In this article, I will share my experience of how to solve the issue on Windows 10.

Previously, I wrote an article showing how to build a DotCode reader in Java. I also updated my C# barcode demo to make it support DotCode decoding recently. In this article, I will share a new webcam scanner sample implemented in C++.
Read moreHow to Build and Publish Snap Packages with Linux Shared Libraries
When you want to release a proprietary tool or SDK, which is not open source, to Linux platforms, it is a nightmare. You have to make multiple packages and do more tests to guarantee compatibility for different Linux distributions. Is it possible to only create one pre-built package? We can use Snap, which is a software deployment and package management system, working across a range of Linux distributions.
Read moreHow to Build DotCode Reader in Java on Windows 10
A dot code is a 2D barcode symbology composed of disconnected dots. It is widely used in the tobacco industry. Recently, Dynamsoft rolled out barcode reader SDK v7.4, which added DotCode support. In this post, I will share a command-line app and a GUI app, demonstrating how to build Java DotCode reader on Windows 10.
Read moreHow to Use PowerShell to Disable and Enable Webcam on Windows 10
While using laptops, sometimes you may want to disable the built-in webcam for some reasons, such as security or debugging webcam related programs. Not like a USB webcam, the built-in camera is unpluggable. Therefore, a general way is to open the device manager, find the camera, and disable it. To save time, we can create PowerShell scripts to toggle camera status quickly.
