Develop high performance, automatic PDF417 bar code recognition applications, in VB, C++ or Delphi, to rapidly and accurately read the barcodes from camera, scan or fax images (TIFF, JPG, color and grayscale) Heuristic barcode recognition algorithms can extract readable barcodes from poor quality images, and can recover the data even with 40% damage. PDF417 is widely used in logistics, state governments and the US defense department. It is a high density code with good error correction. The ClearImage PDF417 tool provides the hex data, decoded data, orientation and location of the barcode. It supports error correction levels 0 - 8; text, byte and numeric compaction modes; macro PDF417 and GLI processing. Diagnostic features include: confidence values, forced reading of invalid data, and raw data output. Accept and save images in many popular file formats or via memory transfers. ClearImage PDF417 can read labels wrapped around prescription bottles or other cylindrical objects, as well as from documents, bills of lading, driver licenses and many other applications. High Accuracy Algorithm - automatically analyzes the barcode image defects in multiple ways and applies the appropriate algorithms to recognize the barcode in any orientation on the image. It can overcome glare, damage, smudges, and other deficiencies in the image. Trouble Free Operation - By totally automating the image processing and the barcode recognition process, ClearImage tools enable developers to create very robust and trouble free applications, which require less testing in the development process and less technical support for customers in production. ClearImage FREE SDK contains ActiveX COM modules, and a demonstration program to Evaluate, Develop, Test and Deploy image data capture applications in Visual Basic, C++ and Delphi. Comes with FREE professional consulting to help you succeed in your project.
