error in rect from Decoded about pyzbar HOT 5 OPEN

Hi!

Could you make this image available? If it is very large please post a dropbox share or similar?

Thanks.

I am having a similar issue when decoding CODE128 barcodes.

I am on a raspberry pi 3 B+ using python 3.5.3
Installed via sudo apt install -y libzbar* and pip and pip3 install pyzbar

It appears to happen primarily on CODE128 barcodes that are shorter (top to bottom) than typical. The only example I have it of the multiple barcodes on the box for a cellphone. All of the CODE128 barcodes were decoded correctly but the rect and polygon each had a width of 1 or 0.

I think this is an issue of the zbar library itself, not of the pyzbar wrapper. I need to have images to be able to reproduce the problem.

@quicklizard99 Here is a simple example with the source file attached. I am sorry if the info here is a bit redundant but I wanted to provide all the information someone might need. Note that the problem is not only with the rect and polygon attributes but with the data values received as well.

Using what I believe are the current stable versions of zbar (0.10) and pyzbar (0.1.8) and a very unambiguous image (below), I receive two Decoded objects (below).

One of them is correct and the other is very close but the data is wrong and the rect and polygon attributes have seeming incomplete values.

The images are fuzzy because they were originally scanned as jpegs and then opened and cropped using Pillow.

The rect and polygon attributes of the incorrect Decoded image have bogus or missing values. Is this a reliable clue on which I could use to weed out the bogus values?

(MacOS Mojave, zbar installed with HomeBrew)

Correct:

Decoded(
data='10001330100070',
type='I25',
rect=Rect(left=35, top=79, width=69, height=674),
polygon=[
Point(x=35, y=79),
Point(x=36, y=753),
Point(x=104, y=753),
Point(x=103, y=80),
Point(x=99, y=79)]
)
Incorrect:

Decoded(
data='10001330100062',
type='I25',
rect=Rect(left=33, top=145, width=0, height=0),
polygon=[Point(x=33, y=145)]
)
unambigous bar code

Hello,
Is there any update on this issue?
I have the same problem.

In my program I crop the image between two barcodes. The barcodes are decoded successfully but one of them sometimes contains the "rect" corrupted (event the "left" or "top" values are not correct).
