This shall be the place to find both usage documentation and in depth tech background for our open source DataMatrix( 2d barcode) decoder.
It is a .net (C#) component, ready to use to decode DataMatrix from bitmaps, for example shot with a cheap webcam. It's licenced as open source under the GNU General Public Licence.
The core of the barcode decoder SDK is the Java package tasman.bars. This package identifies and reads barcodes contained within java.awt.Image instances. It provides an easy route to giving Java applications a barcode reading ability.

Most of japanese mobilephone has embeded QR Code Reader. Currently, QR Code became popular interface which connects user and web sites in Japan. But decoder library was available only under fee based until this project was launched.
In other word, QR Code can be described as universal analog/digital (real/virtual) data exchange interface which requires very cheap cost. By this viewpoint, I think QR Code has big potential.
This project develops open source QR Code decode/encode library. The project goal is "Utilize QR Code embeded information for programmble devices all over the world". QR Code is the industrial standard, JIS-X-0510 and ISO/IEC18004.
