[NHCOLL-L:5248] Bar-codes in Digital Images

[Del Re, Christine]

>From SPNHC conference papers that I have heard,  I have understood that
a number of you are putting your bar-codes into your digital images when
you are photographing. I thought this was being done to link the image,
artifact, and bar-code together so that  - if necessary - the bar-code
for the object can actually be read by scanning it in the photograph.

 

We have been attempting this here with an imaging project - but so far
our bar-code readers (in our museum shops) are not reading the
bar-codes.

 

Have I misunderstood this - or are some of you able to read your
bar-codes that are in your images?? If so, I will work on our system
until we can get it to work.  I just want to confirm that I have not
misunderstood information from presentations that I have heard.

 

With my sincere thanks, Chris Del Re
