Decode GST-Databar Expanded using barcode reader

Aspose.BarCode Product Family
1

When BarCode reader Decodes a GST-Databar Expanded , the result is incorrect in java.

For example , with the attached document the result must be 0112587455464-EHFcGjYu but BarCode reader gives the result (01)12587455463918FcGjYu

Kindly Help me on this .

Java version : 1.6
Aspose version : 17.01

@sabbarish123,

Thanks for the image file.

I tested using the following sample code using our newer versions with your image file, it does not print the code text:
e.g
Sample code:

String bmp = "f:\\files\\GS1-databar-expanded.gif";
	    com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.BarCodeReader reader = new com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.BarCodeReader(bmp, com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.DecodeType.DATABAR_EXPANDED);
        if (reader.read())
        {
            System.out.println(reader.getCodeText());
            
            
        }

Could you share your sample code or at least which exact decode type you are setting, we will check may log a ticket for it soon.

Hi @Amjad_Sahi,

Thanks for the quick response .

I am declaring decode type as below,

BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(fileStream, DecodeType.ALL_SUPPORTED_TYPES);

(ALL_SUPPORTED_TYPES)

My sample Code follows,

BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(fileStream, DecodeType.ALL_SUPPORTED_TYPES);

if (reader.read()) {
System.out.println(reader.getCodeText());
}

Thanks,

@sabbarish123,

Thanks for providing further details.

After an initial test, I am managed to reproduce the issue but differently using the newer version (e.g Aspose.BarCode for Java v19.5). I found it does not read the barcode text in your provided .gif file:
e.g
Sample code:

String bmp = “f:\files\Pharmacode1voie.gif”;

       String bmp = "f:\files\GS1-databar-expanded.gif";
com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.BarCodeReader reader = new com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.BarCodeReader(bmp, com.aspose.barcode.barcoderecognition.DecodeType.ALL_SUPPORTED_TYPES);
if (reader.read())
{
System.out.println(reader.getCodeText());
}

I have logged a ticket with an id “BARCODEJAVA-722” for your issue. We will look into it soon.

Once we have an update on it, we will let you know.

@sabbarish123,

You are welcome.

You can try Vintasoft or Manatee engine and obtain the same recognition result

"<“FNC1”>"0112587455463918FcGjYu
"<“FNC1”>"01 - converts to (01) in our engine (by GS1 rules).

@alexander.gavriluk , Thank you . aspose doesn’t support it ?

Aspose engine reads the same result as other engines (so, I think it is correct). Sometimes barcode images have different caption from real codetext coded in barcode.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as BARCODEJAVA-722) have been fixed in Aspose.BarCode for Java v19.9. This message was posted using BugNotificationTool from Downloads module by ahsaniqbalsidiqui
