Nope, not a cuecat. I'd say this is more like a cuemouse, or maybe even a cueparamecium ;-) a cat would have a lot more processing power than this. -- Lawrence Lile Bob Ammerman Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 04/17/2003 05:35 PM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [EE]: Fun with Statistics - Which is better? I would think a comparison between two readers using the same target barcodes would be meaningful, no matter what shape the barcodes were in. In fact, if I were tasked with this project I would expend significant effort to get a good sampling of different typical barcodes to use with the two readers. With a large enough sample size you could certainly determine which reader would be better in the real word. btw: One of these readers isn't the infamous CueCat(tm) is it :-) Bob Ammerman RAm Systems ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave VanHorn" To: Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 5:16 PM Subject: Re: [EE]: Fun with Statistics - Which is better? > > > >You can't test accuracy of a scanner based on trashed printed barcodes. > > I've been known to test the decode algorithms that way.. > Printing the targets with progressively higher distortion. > > There are a number of things to look at here, starting with the reading > pens, scan method, and target accuracy. > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: > [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
