dm_read — SYMBOL datacode2d op

• Data kinds: image2d → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.dm_read(image) -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import dmsym; dmsym.dm_read(image) -> 'dict'; from the registry, opssymbol.get("dm_read"))

• GPU: none (CPU reference implementation only)

Usage

Read a Data Matrix from an image: locate, sample, decode, and retry with inverted contrast (table).

Read a symbol from a grey image: locate + sample + decode, retrying on the inverted image (light-on-dark marks) — inverted reports which succeeded. The result holds every key of dm_decode_modules plus homography (for the normalised grid), reflectance (normalised orientation), threshold, corners, module_px, locate_score, inverted, angle_deg (direction of the module +x axis in the image, degrees, atan2(d_row, d_col)) and image_mirrored (the symbol appears mirrored).

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
