Scanning a Barcode from an Image | Windows Barcode Scanner

Scanning barcodes from still images

You can also detect barcodes from a still image (SoftwareBitmap) regardless of the image source (e.g. image picked from the file system, photo library, etc).

SoftwareBitmap bitmap = ... // e.g. a JPG file coming from a file picker
var recongizer = new BarcodeRecognizer(new BarcodeScannerConfiguration());
BarcodeScannerResult result = await recongizer.RecognizeAsync(bitmap);

This approach returns a BarcodeScannerResult object which contains an array of barcodes, each containing a crop of the detected barcode, or, if something went wrong, a System.Exception object with a message.
