Barcode Reader Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

  1. Include Libraries:
    • #include <iostream>: For input and output operations.
    • #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>: For image processing using OpenCV.
    • ZXing headers for barcode processing.
  2. Load the Image:
    • Mat image = imread(imagePath, IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);: Load the image in grayscale mode using OpenCV.
  3. Convert OpenCV Image to ZXing BitMatrix:
    • Extract pixel data from the cv::Mat object and convert it into a ZXing BitMatrix.
    • Pixels are converted into a binary format where pixel < 128 is treated as black, and others as white.
  4. Create BinaryBitmap:
    • BinaryBitmap is constructed using a HybridBinarizer which processes the BitMatrix.
  5. Decode the Barcode:
    • Create a MultiFormatReader to decode the barcode from the BinaryBitmap.
    • Set decoding hints to improve recognition.
  6. Output the Result:
    • If the barcode is successfully decoded, output the text; otherwise, indicate that no barcode was found.

Notes:

  • ZXing Setup: Ensure ZXing and OpenCV libraries are correctly linked and included in your project.
  • Image Path: Replace "barcode.png" with the path to your barcode image.
  • Library Dependencies: Ensure ZXing and OpenCV libraries are installed and configured in your build system.
