What could be the reason for Google Vision API's failure in scanning the barcode?

edit

There could be several reasons for Google Vision API's failure in scanning the barcode:

1. Poor Image Quality: The barcode image may not be clear or is blurry, which makes it difficult for the API to recognize the barcode's pattern.

2. Incorrect Orientation: Barcode must be placed in the correct orientation for the API to scan it properly. If the barcode is skewed or rotated, the API may fail to detect it.

3. Incorrect Barcode Type: Google Vision API may not support the barcode type that is being scanned. For example, if the barcode is a 2D barcode, and the API is designed to scan only linear barcodes, it won't be able to recognize it.

4. Insufficient Lighting: Insufficient lighting around the area where the barcode is located. This can cause the barcode to be too dim for the API to read it.

5. Obstruction: Physical obstruction such as printing errors, dirt or physical damage on the barcode can be among the reasons why Google Vision API's failure in scanning the barcode.
