GrayscaleTransformationModes

This parameter helps control the colour mode of the grayscale image. By default, the library can only locate the dark barcodes that stand on a light background. Assume your image has different features to default, this parameter may help configure the appropriate settings for your case.

It consisits of one or more modes, each mode represents a way to transform the grayscale image.

Candidate Mode List

GTM_ORIGINAL
GTM_INVERTED

GTM_ORIGINAL

Keeps the original grayscale. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

LibraryFileName
LibraryParameters

GTM_INVERTED

Transforms the image to inverted grayscale. This mode has the following arguments for further customizing.

LibraryFileName
LibraryParameters

Setting Methods

As `PublicRuntimeSettings` Member

GrayscaleTransformationModes can be set dynamically during runtime as a member of FurtherModes, which is a member of PublicRuntimeSettings struct, it is an array with 8 GrayscaleTransformationMode Enumeration items.

Code Snippet in C++

//...other codes
PublicRuntimeSettings* pSettings = new PublicRuntimeSettings;
int errorCode = reader->GetRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
pSettings->grayscaleTransformationModes[0] = GTM_ORIGINAL;
reader->UpdateRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
delete pSettings;
//...other codes

Remarks
GetModeArgument and SetModeArgument need to be called for getting and setting Arguments.

As JSON Parameter

GrayscaleTransformationModes as a JSON parameter is a JSON Object array. Each JSON object is defined as below.

Key Name	Key Value	Description
Mode	Any one in Candidate Mode List as string	(Required) Specifies a mode for grayscale transformation.
LibraryFileName	A string from value range of LibraryFileName	(Optional) Sets the Argument LibraryFileName.
LibraryParameters	A string from value range of LibraryFileName	(Optional) Sets the Argument LibraryFileName.

JSON Parameter Example

{
    "GrayscaleTransformationModes": [
        {
            "Mode": "GTM_ORIGINAL"
        },
        {
            "Mode": "GTM_INVERTED" 
        }
    ]
}

Impacts on Performance

Speed

The SDK will loop the setting modes one by one until find as many barcodes as ExpectedBarcodesCount specified or timeout. The more modes you set, the more time the process may take. Setting an appropriate mode first in order or setting only necessary modes may speed up the process.

Read Rate

Setting more modes along with different arguments may improve the Read Rate.

Accuracy

GrayscaleTransformationModes has no influence on the Accuracy.

LibraryFileName

Sets the file name of the library to load dynamically.

Value Type	Value Range	Default Value	Valid For
string	A string value representing file name.	””	All modes

Remarks
The library must be in the same place with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader Library.

LibraryParameters

Sets the parameters passed to the library to load dynamically.

Value Type	Value Range	Default Value	Valid For
string	A string value representing parameters.	””	All modes
