Description

Detect bar codes in the video streams and send them as element messages to the GstBus if .“message” property is TRUE. If the .“attach-frame” property is TRUE, the posted barcode message includes a sample of the frame where the barcode was detected (Since 1.6).

The element generate messages namedbarcode. The structure containes these fields:

  • GstClockTime timestamp: the timestamp of the buffer that triggered the message.

  • gchar * type: the symbol type.

  • gchar * symbol: the deteted bar code data.

  • gint quality: an unscaled, relative quantity: larger values are better than smaller values.

  • GstSample frame: the frame in which the barcode message was detected, if the .“attach-frame” property was set to TRUE (Since 1.6)

Example launch lines

1
gst-launch-1.0 -m v4l2src ! videoconvert ! zbar ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink

This pipeline will detect barcodes and send them as messages.

1
gst-launch-1.0 -m v4l2src ! tee name=t ! queue ! videoconvert ! zbar ! fakesink t. ! queue ! xvimagesink

Same as above, but running the filter on a branch to keep the display in color
