Parameters

Name

Type

Default

Description

hrPrev

HRESULT

 

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)

ipSrcImage

ITcVnImage*

 

Source image (USINT elements, 1 or 3 channels)

ipDecodedData

ITcVnContainer*&

 

Returns the decoded code (ContainerType_Vector_String_SINT)

pipContours

ITcVnContainer**

nullptr

Returns the code positions as contours (ContainerType_Vector_Vector_TcVnPoint2_DINT)

nCodeNumber

LONG

1

Number of data matrix codes that should be detected within the provided image. (If set to -1, it tries to detect all data matrix codes.)

eSearchStrategy

ULONG

CSS_DEFAULT

Used search strategy (ETcVn2dCodeSearchStrategy)
