grade_barcode_profile — SYMBOL print_quality op

• Data kinds: signal → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.grade_barcode_profile(profile, symbologies=None, *, quiet_zone_x=None) (to call the implementation directly, import symgrade; symgrade.grade_barcode_profile(profile, symbologies=None, *, quiet_zone_x=None); from the registry, opssymbol.get("grade_barcode_profile"))

• GPU: none (CPU reference implementation only)

Usage

Return the print-quality parameters and grades of one scan line (a 1-D reflectance profile) (table).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

Grade one scan reflectance profile. The profile must cover the symbol and its quiet zones. Quantities (reflectances in [0, 1]):

• r_max / r_min: highest / lowest reflectance over the profile.

• symbol_contrast SC = r_max − r_min; global threshold GT = r_min + SC / 2.

• elements = runs between GT crossings; a space's reflectance is its maximum, a bar's its minimum; the quiet zones are the outer spaces.

• edge_contrast_min ECmin = min over adjacent element pairs of |Rs − Rb|.

• modulation MOD = ECmin / SC.

• defects = ERNmax / SC, where an element's reflectance non-uniformity ERN is the deepest valley trapped between two higher samples inside a space (or the highest peak trapped inside a bar) — monotone edges contribute nothing.

• decodability = the smallest per-character decode margin returned by the reference decode (barcode1d.decode_barcode_profile at GT): for the edge-to-similar-edge symbologies (EAN/UPC, Code 128) the margin of each similar-edge sum from its decision boundary (half a module), for the two-width ones (Code 39, ITF) the margin of the narrowest wide / widest narrow element from the mid threshold, both scaled to 1 = ideal, 0 = on the boundary.

• decode (bool), quiet_zone_ok (both light zones at least the symbology's quiet zone, or quiet_zone_x X, wide), r_min_ok (Rmin ≤ 0.5 Rmax), edge_contrast_ok (ECmin ≥ 0.15).

Grades 4..0 per parameter (grades), profile_grade = the minimum, and limiting = the parameters at that minimum. A profile that does not decode is graded 0 with decode = False (the other quantities are still reported when the profile has edges).

空の入力(16 標本未満)は ValueError。拒否(ValueError): 1-D でない、非有限、quiet_zone_x が負。平らな走査線(縁が無い)は SC = 0 で profile_grade = 0(読めない、と数える)。
