set_data_code_2d_param — Set selected parameters of the 2D data code model.
set_data_code_2d_param( : : DataCodeHandle, GenParamName, GenParamValue : )
The operator set_data_code_2d_param is used to set or change
the different parameters of a 2D data code model in order to
adapt the model to a particular symbol appearance.
All parameters can also be set while creating a 2D data code model
with create_data_code_2d_model.
The current configuration of the data code model can be queried with
get_data_code_2d_param.
A list with the names of all parameters that can be set for the
given 2D data code type is returned by
query_data_code_2d_params.
For an explanation of the concept of the 2D data code reader see the introduction of chapter Identification / Data Code.
Note that the symbol structure of GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 QR Code,
GS1 Aztec, and GS1 DotCode is identical to the structure of
Data Matrix ECC 200, QR Code, Aztec Code, and DotCode, respectively.
Therefore, all symbology specific parameters applying to Data Matrix ECC 200,
QR Code, Aztec Code, or DotCode apply to their corresponding GS1variant as well.
In the following, the explicit enumeration of the
parameters for any particular GS1 code is omitted for sake of readability.
Instead, the relevant parameters names are to be inferred from the
parameters for the corresponding non-GS1 code type or can be explicitly
queried by query_data_code_2d_params with parameter
'set_model_params'.
The following overview lists the different generic parameters with the respective value ranges and default values in standard mode ('standard_recognition'). If the default values in enhanced mode ('enhanced_recognition') differ from those in the standard mode, they are listed additionally. The same holds, if the default values in the maximum mode 'maximum_recognition' differ from those in the enhanced mode:
Basic default settings:
All data code types:
Reset all model parameters to one of the three basic
default settings standard, enhanced, or
maximum (see the following summary and
create_data_code_2d_model). In addition to the
parameter values, the training state of the model is reset.
Values: 'standard_recognition',
'enhanced_recognition',
'maximum_recognition'
Default: 'standard_recognition'
Attention: If this parameter is set together with a list of other parameters, this parameter must be at the first position.
Set for the given parameters the training state to trained.
The next training will not overwrite this parameters.
If necessary only the parameter range is extended to cover the already
trained symbols.
For all possible parameter which can be trained see
find_data_code_2d.
Size and shape of the symbol:
Data matrix ECC 200 (including the finder pattern):
Attention: After calling
set_data_code_2d_param to change size or shape of
the symbol, the parameters are evaluated in the given
order. After each parameter, the consistency of the current
settings is checked, and if necessary the current settings
are adjusted. Therefore the order in which the changes are
done may influence the final setting.
Minimum number of module columns in the symbol.
Value range: [10, 12, 14, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_cols_min' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Default: 10
Maximum number of module columns in the symbol.
Value range: [10, 12, 14, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_cols_max' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Default: 144
Minimum number of module rows in the symbol.
Value range: [8, 10, 12, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_rows_min' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Default: 8
Maximum number of module rows in the symbol.
Value range: [8, 10, 12, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_rows_max' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Default: 144
Set 'symbol_cols_min' and 'symbol_cols_max' to the given value.
Value range: [10, 12, 14, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_cols' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Set 'symbol_rows_min' and 'symbol_rows_max' to the given value.
Value range: [8, 10, 12, .. 144]
Attention: Changing 'symbol_rows' sets 'symbol_shape' to 'any'. If the size of the current symbol is only consistent with one shape type 'symbol_shape' is restricted to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Possible restrictions on the module shape ('rectangle' and/or 'square').
Attention: setting the symbol shape all previously made restrictions concerning the symbol size may change. For 'square' the minimum of 'symbol_cols_min' and 'symbol_rows_min' and the maximum of 'symbol_cols_max' and 'symbol_rows_max' will be used. Additional restrictions can be seen in the following table:
| symbol_shape | 'any' | 'rectangle' | 'square' |
|---|---|---|---|
| 'symbol_cols_min' | >= 10 | >= 18 | >= 10 |
| 'symbol_cols_max' | <= 144 | <= 144 | <= 144 |
| 'symbol_rows_min' | >= 8 | >= 8 | >= 10 |
| 'symbol_rows_max' | <= 144 | <= 26 | <= 144 |
Furthermore, if 'symbol_cols_min' is larger than 'symbol_rows_max', the setting for 'symbol_shape' is ignored and its value set to 'rectangle'.
Since HALCON 7.1.1 the same search algorithm is used for both shapes if 'finder_pattern_tolerance' is set to 'low'. Thus, 'symbol_shape' has no effect for the symbol search in this case. However, if 'finder_pattern_tolerance' is set to 'high' or 'any', the value of 'symbol_shape' may speed up the symbol search significantly if it is set to 'rectangle' or 'square'.
Values: 'rectangle', 'square', 'any'
Set 'symbol_cols_min' and 'symbol_rows_min' to the given value and 'symbol_shape' to 'square'.
Set 'symbol_cols_max' and 'symbol_rows_max' to the given value and 'symbol_shape' to 'square'.
Set 'symbol_cols_min', 'symbol_cols_max', 'symbol_rows_min' and 'symbol_rows_max' to the given value and 'symbol_shape' to 'square'.
QR-Code (including the finder pattern):

Set 'symbol_rows_min' and 'symbol_rows_max' to the given value. Must be even.
Value range: [4 .. 998]
Appearance of the modules in the image:
All data code types:
Describes the polarity of the symbol in the image, i.e., the parameter determines if the symbol appears light on a dark background or dark on a light background.
Values: 'dark_on_light', 'light_on_dark', 'any'.
Default: 'dark_on_light' (enhanced: 'any')
Describes whether the symbol is or may be mirrored (which is equivalent to swapping rows and columns of the symbol).
Values: 'no', 'yes', 'any'
Default: 'any'
All data code types except Data Matrix ECC 200 and DotCode:
Minimum contrast between the foreground and the background of the symbol (specified as gray value difference). This measure corresponds with the minimum gradient between the symbol's foreground and the background and is therefore also depending on the image sharpness.
Values: [1 .. 255]
Default: 30 (enhanced: 10)
All data code types except PDF417:
Minimum size of the modules in the image in pixels. Please note that for optimal reading performance a module size of at least 3-4 pixels is recommended.
Values: [1 .. 100]
Default: 6 (enhanced: 2, maximum: 1)
For DotCode:
Default: 4 (enhanced, maximum: 2)
Maximum size of the modules in the image in pixels.
Values: [2 .. 100]
Default: 20 (enhanced: 100)
For DotCode:
Default: 100
Set 'module_size_min' and 'module_size_max' to the same value.
The gap between modules can be set via the 'module_gap*' parameters as explained in the following paragraph:
It is possible to specify whether neighboring foreground
modules are connected or whether there is or may be a gap between
them.
If the foreground modules are connected and fill the module
space completely, the gap parameter can be set to 'no'.
The parameter is set to 'small' if there is a very
small gap between two modules, i.e.,< 10% of the module size.
It can be set to 'big'
if the gap is bigger
(in relation to the module size: < 50%).
The last two settings may also be useful if the foreground
modules - although being connected - appear thinner as
their entitled space (e.g., as a result of blooming caused by a
bright illuminant).
If the foreground modules appear only as very small dots,
in general, an
appropriate preprocessing of the image for detecting or
enlarging the modules will be necessary (e.g., by
gray_erosion_shape or gray_dilation_shape).
Minimum gap.
Values: 'no', 'small', 'big' ('big' is not available for DotCode)
Default: 'no'
Maximum gap.
Values: 'no', 'small', 'big'
Default (Data Matrix ECC 200): 'no' (enhanced: 'small', maximum: 'big')
Default (DotCode): 'no' (enhanced: 'small', maximum: 'small')
Default (Aztec Code, Micro QR Code, QR Code): 'small' (enhanced: 'big')
Set 'module_gap_min' and 'module_gap_max' to the same value.
All data code types except DotCode:
Robustness of the decoding of data codes with very small
module sizes. Setting the parameter
'small_modules_robustness' to 'high'
increases the likelihood of being able to
decode data codes with very small module sizes. Additionally,
in that case the minimum module size should also be adapted
accordingly, thus 'module_size_min' and
'module_width_min' (PDF417) should be set to
the expected minimum module size and width, respectively. Setting
'small_modules_robustness' to 'high' can
significantly increase the internal memory usage of
find_data_code_2d. Thus, in the default case
'small_modules_robustness' should be set to 'low'.
If 'small_modules_robustness' is set to 'high'
the maximal accepted image size is bisected (see
get_system 'halcon_xl').
Values: 'low', 'high'
Default: 'low' (enhanced: 'low', maximum: 'high')
PDF417:
Minimum module width in the image in pixels.
Values: [1 .. 100]
Default: 3 (enhanced: 2, maximum: 1)
Maximum module width in the image in pixels.
Values: [2 .. 100]
Default: 15 (enhanced: 100)
Set 'module_width_min' and 'module_width_max' to the same value.
Minimum module aspect ratio (module height to module width).
Values: [0.5 .. 20.0]
Default: 1.0
Maximum module aspect ratio (module height to module width).
Values: [0.5 .. 20.0]
Default: 4.0 (enhanced: 10.0)
Set 'module_aspect_min' and 'module_aspect_max' to the same value.
Data Matrix ECC 200:
Maximum deviation of the angle of the L-shaped finder pattern from the (ideal) right angle (the angle is specified in radians and corresponds to the distortion that occurs when the symbol is printed or during the image acquisition).
Value range: [0.0 .. 0.5235]
Default: 0.1745 = (enhanced: 0.5235 = )
Tolerance of the search with respect to a defect or
partially occluded finder pattern. The finder pattern
includes the L-shaped side as well as the opposite
alternating side. Dependent on this parameter, different
algorithms are used during the symbol search in
find_data_code_2d. In one case ('low'),
it is assumed that the finder pattern is present to a high
degree and shows almost no disturbances. In the other case
('high'), the finder pattern may be defect or
partially occluded without influencing the recognition and
the reading of the symbol.
Note, however,
that in this mode the parameters for the symbol search
should be restricted as narrow as possible by using
set_data_code_2d_param because otherwise the
run-time of find_data_code_2d may significantly
increase.
Also note that the two algorithms slightly differ
from each other in terms of robustness. This may lead to
different results depending on the value of
'finder_pattern_tolerance' even if the finder
pattern of the symbol is not disturbed. For example, if
'high' is chosen, only symbols with an equidistant
module grid can be found (see below), and hence the
robustness to perspective distortions is
decreased. Finally, if 'finder_pattern_tolerance'
is set to 'any' both algorithms are applied.
Values: 'low', 'high','any'
Default: 'low' (enhanced: 'low', maximum: 'any')
Describes the tolerance of the search with respect to local contrast variations (e.g., in the presence of glare or reflections). Depending on the value of the parameter two different algorithms are applied. If 'contrast_tolerance' is set to 'high' the robustness in the presence of strong local contrast variations is improved. In the case where 'contrast_tolerance' is set to 'low' the algorithm less robust in case of strong local contrast variations, however it is faster and still able to handle contrast variations under normal circumstances and therefore should be used in most cases. If 'contrast_tolerance' is set to 'any' both algorithms are applied.
Values: 'low', 'high', 'any'
Default: 'low' (enhanced: 'low', maximum: 'any')
Describes whether the size of the modules may vary (in a specific range) or not. Dependent on this parameter different algorithms are used for calculating the module's center positions. If it is set to 'fixed', an equidistant grid is used. Allowing a variable module size ('variable'), the grid is aligned only to the alternating side of the finder pattern. With 'any' both approaches are tested one after the other. Please note that the value of 'module_grid' is ignored if 'finder_pattern_tolerance' is set to 'high'. In this case an equidistant grid is assumed.
Values: 'fixed', 'variable', 'any'
Default: 'fixed' (enhanced: 'any')
QR Code:
Number of position detection patterns that have to be visible for generating a new symbol candidate.
Value range: [2, 3]
Default: 3 (enhanced: 2)
Aztec Code:
Tolerance of the search with respect to a defect or partially
occluded finder pattern. Depending on this parameter, different
algorithms are used during the symbol search in
find_data_code_2d. In one case ('low'), it is
assumed that all rings of the finder pattern can be extracted. In
the other case ('high') it is assumed that at least one of
the rings of the finder pattern can be extracted.
As a consequence the runtime of the reader increases, if this
parameter is set to 'high'.
Values: 'low', 'high'
Default: 'low' (enhanced: 'high')
To increase the robustness of the Aztec Code reader, a number of additional search levels (in addition to the search levels derived from the minimum and maximum module dimensions) can be specified via this parameter. Be aware that this increases the runtime of the reader, especially if no code is found.
Value range: [0 .. 2]
Default: 0
General model behavior:
All data code types:
Controls whether certain intermediate results of the symbol
search with find_data_code_2d are stored
temporarily or persistently in the model.
The memory requirements of find_data_code_2d are
significantly smaller if the data is stored temporarily
(default).
On the other hand, by using the persistent storage it is
possible to access some of the data for debugging reasons
after searching for symbols, e.g., to investigate why a
symbol could not be read.
The memory requirements of find_data_code_2d can further
be reduced by setting 'persistence' to -1 such
that only the data necessary for retrieving the decoded data is
stored with the model. Be aware that print quality inspection
cannot be used with this setting of 'persistence'.
Values: -1 (only decoded data), 0 (temporary), 1 (persistent)
Default: 0
Controls whether candidates that could not be successfully decoded
are stored in the model.
Set this parameter to 'yes' to reduce the amount of
memory consumed by the model. Note that in this case
information about undecoded candidates cannot be queried by
using get_data_code_2d_objects or
get_data_code_2d_results.
Values: 'yes', 'no'
Default: 'no'
Controls the behavior of find_data_code_2d while
detecting symbols that could be read but that do not fit
the model restrictions on the size of the symbols.
They can be rejected (strict model, set to 'yes') or
returned as a result independent of their size and the
size specified in the model (lax model, set to
'no'). Please note that for DotCode symbols the module
size restrictions ('module_size_min ' and
'module_size_max') are not checked even if
'strict_model' is set to 'yes'.
Values: 'yes' (strict), 'no' (not strict)
Default: 'yes'
Sets the expected string encoding of the string that is encoded in the symbol. It's possible to switch between UTF-8, latin-1, and the string encoding of the current locale. If necessary, the string will be transcoded accordingly. In raw mode, the string will be passed unchanged.
Values: 'utf8', 'locale', 'latin1', 'raw'
Default: 'latin1'
By the use of this parameter, it is possible to abort
find_data_code_2d after a defined period in
milliseconds. This is especially useful in cases where a
maximum cycle time has to be ensured. All results gained before
the timeout can be accessed by
get_data_code_2d_results. Passing values less or
equal zero implies a deactivation of the timeout (default).
The temporal accuracy is about 10 ms. It
depends on several factors including the speed of your computer, the
image size and the 'timer_mode' set via
set_system.
find_data_code_2d does not raise an exception if a
timeout occurs. To check whether find_data_code_2d has been
interrupted, check the parameter 'aborted' in
get_data_code_2d_results.
Note that the timeout is ignored if find_data_code_2d
runs in training mode.
Typical values: 'false', -1, 20 .. 100
Default: 'false'
Using this option, it is possible to abort find_data_code_2d
from another thread. When set_data_code_2d_param is called
with 'abort', an instance of find_data_code_2d with
the model DataCodeHandle running in another thread is
requested to abort. If there is no find_data_code_2d running
with this model, nothing happens.
The operator find_data_code_2d might not return immediately.
It has to reach a cancellation point to ensure a proper cleanup.
Depending on different factors like the computer performance this
may take up to 10 ms.
All decoded results until this moment, are still returned. Note that
the parameter is ignored if find_data_code_2d runs in
training mode.
Note: This is the only action with a data code handle, which can be used from different threads without requiring additional synchronization.
Default: 'true' (The value is not processed.)
All data code types except Aztec Code:
Controls the behavior of find_data_code_2d while
detecting symbols that could be read but show defects in
their quiet zone. If 'strict_quiet_zone' is set to
'yes' the quiet zone of all decoded symbol is validated
similar to the method used for print quality inspection.
Symbols with poor grades for their quiet zone are not returned
as a result. Their 'status' is set to
'quiet zone is missing'.
If 'strict_quiet_zone' is set to 'no'
(this is the default case), all readable symbols are
returned as a result.
Values: 'yes', 'no'
Default: 'no'
All data code types except DotCode:
The reference image, on which the quality grades Symbol Contrast, Modulation, Reflectance Margin, and Fixed Pattern Damage are assessed, is obtained by applying a synthetic aperture (circular mean filter) on the original image. This parameter determines the filter size as the part of the module size. According to the standard, this value should be chosen between 0.5 and 0.8 depending on the application.
For further guidance on selecting the aperture, see ISO/IEC 15415:2011 Annex D.2.
Value range: [0 .. 1]
Default: 0.8
Data Matrix ECC 200:
Controls the selection of candidate regions that are used for symbol detection. Setting this parameter to 'extensive' increases the number of generated candidate regions and thus the likelihood of detecting a code. However, a higher number of candidates can lead to higher runtimes. If 'candidate_selection' is set to 'default', less candidate regions are used. In most cases this smaller set of candidates is sufficient.
Values: 'default', 'extensive'
Default: 'default' (enhanced: 'extensive')
Controls the decoding step of Data Matrix ECC 200. When setting this
to 'raw', this allows to read symbols where the appearance
and the error correction step conform to ISO/IEC 16022:2006, but where
the encoding is custom. The decoded data are the error corrected data,
are retrieved with the 'decoded_data' parameter of
get_data_code_2d_results and must be further processed by
the user.
Values: 'default', 'raw'
Default: 'default'
DotCode:
Controls the selection of candidate regions that are used for symbol detection. Setting this parameter to 'extensive' increases the number of generated candidate regions and thus the likelihood of detecting a code. Setting this parameter to 'all' all possible candidates are used and therefore don't get filtered based on their probability of being a DotCode. If 'candidate_selection' is set to 'default', less candidate regions are used.
Values: 'default', 'extensive','all'
Default: 'default' (enhanced: 'extensive', maximum: 'all')
Controls the maximum allowed error correction. Due to the high error correction capacity, it is possible to successfully decode false positive DotCode candidates. Especially candidates which only cover a small part of a real DotCode may be decoded successfully because of the error correction capabilities. This is the case because DotCode symbols can consist of almost every size. So there are fewer criteria to decide whether the candidate is valid or not. In order to tackle this problem, the parameter 'max_allowed_error_correction' can be used to specify the percentage of maximum allowed error correction. Per default the value is set to '1.0', which means 100%. Setting the value to e.g., '0.5' means, only candidates which could be decoded with maximum 50% used error correction, will be returned as successfully decoded results.
Value range: [0.0 .. 1.0]
Default: '1.0'
When setting the model parameters, attention should be payed especially to the following issues:
Symbols whose size does not comply with the size restrictions made in the model (with the generic parameters 'symbol_rows*', 'symbol_cols*', 'symbol_size*', or 'version*') will not be read if 'strict_model' is set to 'yes', which is the default. This behavior is useful if symbols of a specific size have to be detected while other symbols should be ignored. On the other hand, neglecting this parameter can lead to problems, e.g., if one symbol of an image sequence is used to adjust the model (including the symbol size), but later in the application the symbol size varies, which is quite common in practice.
The run-time of find_data_code_2d depends mostly on the
following model parameters, namely in cases where the requested
number of symbols cannot be found in the image:
'polarity', 'module_size_min' (Data Matrix ECC 200, QR
Code, and Micro QR Code) and 'module_size_min' together with
'module_aspect_min' (PDF417), and if the minimum module
size is very small also the parameters 'module_gap_*'
(Data Matrix ECC 200, Aztec, QR Code, and Micro QR Code), for QR Code also
'position_pattern_min'.
For Data Matrix ECC 200 symbols, if
'finder_pattern_tolerance' is set to 'high' or
'any', the symbol size should be restricted with
'symbol_size_min', 'symbol_size_max',
'symbol_size', and 'symbol_shape' as narrow as
possible.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
DataCodeHandle (input_control, state is modified) datacode_2d → (handle)
Handle of the 2D data code model.
GenParamName (input_control) attribute.name(-array) → (string)
Names of the generic parameters that shall be adjusted for the 2D data code.
Default value: 'polarity'
List of values: 'abort', 'additional_levels', 'candidate_selection', 'contrast_min', 'contrast_tolerance', 'decoding_scheme', 'default_parameters', 'discard_undecoded_candidates', 'finder_pattern_tolerance', 'format', 'max_allowed_error_correction', 'mirrored', 'model_type', 'module_aspect', 'module_aspect_max', 'module_aspect_min', 'module_gap', 'module_gap_max', 'module_gap_min', 'module_grid', 'module_size', 'module_size_max', 'module_size_min', 'module_width', 'module_width_max', 'module_width_min', 'persistence', 'polarity', 'position_pattern_min', 'quality_isoiec15415_aperture_size', 'slant_max', 'small_modules_robustness', 'strict_model', 'strict_quiet_zone', 'string_encoding', 'symbol_cols', 'symbol_cols_max', 'symbol_cols_min', 'symbol_rows', 'symbol_rows_max', 'symbol_rows_min', 'symbol_shape', 'symbol_size', 'symbol_size_max', 'symbol_size_min', 'timeout', 'trained', 'version', 'version_max', 'version_min'
GenParamValue (input_control) attribute.value(-array) → (string / integer / real)
Values of the generic parameters that are adjusted for the 2D data code.
Default value: 'light_on_dark'
Suggested values: 'standard_recognition', 'enhanced_recognition', 'maximum_recognition', 'yes', 'no', 'any', 'dark_on_light', 'light_on_dark', 'square', 'rectangle', 'small', 'big', 'fixed', 'variable', 'low', 'high', 'default', 'extensive', 'utf8', 'locale', 'raw', 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 120, 132, 144
* This examples shows how a model can be adapted to a specific symbol if
* the symbol parameters are known
* Create a model for reading Data matrix ECC 200 codes
create_data_code_2d_model ('Data Matrix ECC 200', [], [], DataCodeHandle)
* Restrict the model by setting the module size
set_data_code_2d_param (DataCodeHandle, \
['module_size_min','module_size_max'], [4,7])
* Change the polarity setting of the model from 'dark_on_light' to
* 'light_on_dark'
set_data_code_2d_param (DataCodeHandle, 'polarity', \
'light_on_dark')
* Read an image
read_image (Image, 'datacode/ecc200/ecc200_cpu_010')
* Read the symbol in the image
find_data_code_2d (Image, SymbolXLDs, DataCodeHandle, [], [], \
ResultHandles, DecodedDataStrings)
* Clear the model
clear_data_code_2d_model (DataCodeHandle)
The operator set_data_code_2d_param returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE)
if the given parameters are correct.
Otherwise, an exception is raised.
