How to evaluate a barcode recognition engine?

Assuming that the goal is the proper recognition of a large number of barcodes with minimum or no read errors, then the following issues must be considered:

There is a widespread myth which claims that out of all barcode engines, the one that reads the smallest barcode symbol is best. This assertion is certainly not based on a sound knowledge of engineering principles; it is simply false and should be abandoned. It should be accepted that there is no value in reading only a few symbols, which may be too small and therefore outside specifications, and to use such a random result as a basis for an evaluation.

To evaluate the performance of a barcode recognition engine, it is necessary to process a large number of images. It is important that all test images are within specifications in regards to minimum barcode symbol size and other parameters.

LEAD\Axtel recognition engines are the result of many years of improvement and fine-tuning. This work benefits all LEAD\Axtel users because the costs for manual corrections and indexing errors are kept at an absolute minimum.
