    2 SYMBOL VERIFICATION OVERVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION Matrix 400™ can be used to evaluate printed or marked symbols according to the ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC 15416, AS9132 and AIM DPM standards. The purpose of verification is to guarantee reliability of 2D and 1D codes according to the criteria summarized in the above mentioned symbol verification standards.

  • Page 37: Iso/Iec 15415 2D Standard

    SYMBOL VERIFICATION OVERVIEW 2.2 ISO/IEC 15415 2D STANDARD The ISO-IEC 15415 Standard specifies the methodologies for the measurement of specific attributes of two-dimensional bar code symbols, and methods for evaluating and grading these measurements and deriving an overall assessment of symbol quality. Two-dimensional symbol quality assessment shall be based on measurement and grading of parameters of the reference Grey-scale image, the binarized image derived from it, and the application of the reference decode algorithm to these.
  • Page 38 MATRIX 400™ CODE QUALITY VERIFIER SOLUTION Axial Non-Uniformity (ANU) Measures and grades the squareness of all modules in the direction of each of the symbol’s major axes (X-axis and Y-axis) by applying the decode algorithm to the binarized image. Decode This parameter tests, on a Pass/Fail basis, whether the symbol has all its features sufficiently correct.
  • Page 39 SYMBOL VERIFICATION OVERVIEW Modulation (MOD) Modulation is a measure of the uniformity of reflectance of the dark and light modules respectively. Some printing/background factors may reduce the apparent margin between the reflectance of a module and the Global Threshold. Print Growth Print Growth refers to the deviation (larger or smaller) of actual element size from intended element size due to printing problems.
  • Page 40 MATRIX 400™ CODE QUALITY VERIFIER SOLUTION Unused Error Correction (UEC) This parameter tests and grade the extent to which regional or spot damage in the symbol has eroded the information redundancy margin that error correction provides. 100% Unused Error Correction Capacity is the ideal condition.
