Qrcode decoder¶
Do I see a qrcode ? What is the content ?
Getting Started¶
You can use this qrcode for example:
Using Angus python SDK:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import angus.client
from pprint import pprint
conn = angus.client.connect()
service = conn.services.get_service('qrcode_decoder', version=1)
job = service.process({'image': open('./qrcode.jpg', 'rb')})
pprint(job.result)
Input¶
The API takes a stream of 2d still images as input, of format jpg
or png
, without constraints on resolution.
Note however that the bigger the resolution, the longer the API will take to process and give a result.
The function process()
takes a dictionary as input formatted as follows:
{'image' : file}
image
: a pythonFile Object
as returned for example byopen()
or aStringIO
buffer.
Output¶
Events will be pushed to your client following that format:
{
"type": "QRCODE",
"data": "http://www.angus.ai"
}
type
: qrcode data typedata
: content
Code Sample¶
requirements: opencv2, opencv2 python bindings
This code sample retrieves the stream of a webcam and print on standard output the qrcode content data.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import StringIO
import cv2
import numpy as np
from pprint import pprint
import angus.client
def main(stream_index):
camera = cv2.VideoCapture(stream_index)
camera.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640)
camera.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480)
camera.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FPS, 10)
if not camera.isOpened():
print("Cannot open stream of index {}".format(stream_index))
exit(1)
print("Input stream is of resolution: {} x {}".format(camera.get(3), camera.get(4)))
conn = angus.client.connect()
service = conn.services.get_service("qrcode_decoder", version=1)
service.enable_session()
while camera.isOpened():
ret, frame = camera.read()
if not ret:
break
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret, buff = cv2.imencode(".jpg", gray, [cv2.IMWRITE_JPEG_QUALITY, 80])
buff = StringIO.StringIO(np.array(buff).tostring())
job = service.process({"image": buff})
if "data" in job.result:
pprint(job.result["data"])
cv2.imshow('original', frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
service.disable_session()
camera.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

### Web cam index might be different from 0 on your setup.
### To grab a given video file instead of the host computer cam, try:
### main("/path/to/myvideo.avi")
main(0)
