Barcode Reader Activity

The Barcode Reader activity identifies and analyzes barcodes within a specified image file. It extracts all detected barcode data, making it available for further processing as a dataset.

Field Description Requirement
Image file name The full path and name of the image file containing the barcode(s). Required
New dataset name The reference name for the dataset that will be created to store the extracted barcode values. Required

Action Types & Examples

Dataset Output

  • Format: Dataset (This dataset will contain the extracted barcode values as strings.)
  • Example Result: barcodeResult (This is the name of the dataset created by the activity.)

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Image file name: C:Robustabarcode.png - New dataset name: barcodeResult

Execution Parameters - Image file name: C:Robustabarcode.png - New dataset name: barcodeResult

Technical Notes

The Barcode Reader activity returns a dataset because it is designed to read multiple barcodes from a single image simultaneously. Individual barcode values can be accessed from this dataset for subsequent operations.
