Support for vertical barcodes #183

Closed Waterdhavian closed 1 year ago

Waterdhavian commented 1 year ago

I am working on a project that scans bottles and other drinks. Because those items are round the barcodes are printed vertically on the label so the rounding does not impede with the scanning. For me it is not a solution to turn the bottle or the camera (to get the barcode horizontal) since i have no control over either. So it would be really nice if a barcode in the image can also be scanned for vertical codes.

How much time do think such a request would take?

PS. I am hearing a lot of positive remarks on how fast this plugin works in scanning horizontal barcodes so that is a big compliment to all collabs here!

Oh sorry, somehow I totally missed this issue!

I am working on a new version of the plugin, unfortunately the progress is kinda stuck at the moment. I hoped to have some time over Christmas to finish up things, but I was at work the whole time ;)

The new version is pushed to the ml-kit branch, this should scan codes in any direction you want to! :) Should work in general but it needs cleanup and permission fixes (especially on Android)

Sounds really great then, i will eagerly await the new version of the plugin. Awesome work!

@thegnuu do you have an idea when you will be able to release the new version?

thegnuu commented 1 year ago

@Waterdhavian v5.0.0-beta.1 is available as a pre-release. You should get way better results with this :)
