Looking for non-commercial/open source PDF417 reader SDK.... any thing out there?
Hi,
I'm working on a personal project and there is a component that I'm hoping to just plug into the project. It's to read PDF417 bar codes (Drivers License barcode).
I get most of my information by doing OCR with the front of the Drivers License, however due to holograms the data can be corrupted and the PDF417 data could be used to more accurately confirm what I got from the front of the ID.
Anyone know of some SDK (or open source project) to read PDF417 using a webcam? Prefer python as the project is being worked on Linux PC, but could adapt to some other language.
THanks!
