Description

The operator get_bar_code_paramget_bar_code_paramGetBarCodeParamGetBarCodeParamget_bar_code_param allows to query parameters of a bar code model, which are of relevance for a successful search and decoding of a respective class of bar codes.

The names of the desired parameters are passed in the generic parameter GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name and the corresponding values are returned in GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValuegen_param_value. All of these parameters can be set and changed at any time with the operator set_bar_code_paramset_bar_code_paramSetBarCodeParamSetBarCodeParamset_bar_code_param.

Parameters that have been set bar code type specifically by set_bar_code_param_specificset_bar_code_param_specificSetBarCodeParamSpecificSetBarCodeParamSpecificset_bar_code_param_specific or by automatic parameter training cannot be read with get_bar_code_paramget_bar_code_paramGetBarCodeParamGetBarCodeParamget_bar_code_param, but must be read with get_bar_code_param_specificget_bar_code_param_specificGetBarCodeParamSpecificGetBarCodeParamSpecificget_bar_code_param_specific. All parameters listed with the operator get_bar_code_param_specificget_bar_code_param_specificGetBarCodeParamSpecificGetBarCodeParamSpecificget_bar_code_param_specific can always be set specifically. Which parameters are actually set specifically can be determined at runtime with the operator query_bar_code_paramsquery_bar_code_paramsQueryBarCodeParamsQueryBarCodeParamsquery_bar_code_params.

The following parameters can be queried - ordered by different categories:

Size of the bar code elements:

'element_size_min'"element_size_min""element_size_min""element_size_min""element_size_min":

Minimal size of the base bar code elements, i.e., the minimal width of the narrowest bars and spaces for the specific bar code type.

Appearance of the bar code in the image:

'meas_thresh'"meas_thresh""meas_thresh""meas_thresh""meas_thresh":

Relative threshold for the detection of edges in the bar code region.

'meas_thresh_abs'"meas_thresh_abs""meas_thresh_abs""meas_thresh_abs""meas_thresh_abs":

Persistence mode of the bar code model.

'train'"train""train""train""train":

Returns the names of the trained parameters. The returned tuple can be passed as GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name to a further call to get_bar_code_paramget_bar_code_paramGetBarCodeParamGetBarCodeParamget_bar_code_param to get the values of the trained parameters.

Further details on these parameters can be found with the description of the operator set_bar_code_paramset_bar_code_paramSetBarCodeParamSetBarCodeParamset_bar_code_param.
