Building a code generator is only half the battle. In this walkthrough, we will build a high-performance scanning system capable of identifying and decoding multiple barcodes and 2D codes (QR, Data Matrix, etc.) from both static images and real-time video streams.

While QR codes are great for marketing and consumers, industrial and government applications often require formats that are either more compact or hold significantly more data. This article covers how to generate Data Matrix (popular in healthcare and aerospace) and PDF417 (the standard for ID cards and shipping) using Python.
