# UniScann
This repository hosts an experimental project aimed at **scanning and differentiating between various types of codes**, such as **barcodes** and **DataMatrix codes**, with the goal of extracting meaningful data from them.
## 🚀 Project Overview
The main idea is to build a system capable of:
- Detecting codes from images or streams (e.g., camera input).
- Distinguishing between **barcodes** and **DataMatrix** codes.
- Extracting and parsing the encoded data.
At this stage, the project is primarily a **sandbox for experiments and research**, where different approaches, tools, and algorithms will be tested.
## ⚠️ Disclaimer
This project is currently in an **early exploratory phase**:
- The final scope is not yet defined.
- Features and direction may change as development and research progress.
- Expect breaking changes, incomplete implementations, or placeholder code.
## 🧪 Goals (Work in Progress)
- [ ] Explore libraries and frameworks for code detection.
- [ ] Implement basic differentiation between barcode types.
- [ ] Develop a prototype scanner that supports multiple input sources (images, webcam, etc.).
- [ ] Test data extraction and integration with potential applications.
## 🛠️ Tech Stack (Subject to Change)
The project is still under research, but possible technologies and languages include:
- **Python** (for prototyping and quick testing)
- **OpenCV** (image processing and computer vision)
- **Zxing / Pyzbar** (barcode and DataMatrix scanning libraries)
- Other tools/libraries depending on experiments
## 📌 Next Steps
- Continue researching reliable detection methods.
- Build small prototypes for reading both barcodes and DataMatrix.
- Evaluate performance and potential real-world applications.
