Firebase ML-Kit Barcode Scanning with Multiple Barcodes












0















I'm working on an Android app where the user has to use a camera view to scan a barcode. I've been using Firebase's ML-Kit barcode scanning utility to achieve the actual barcode recognition bit and it's been fantastic.



There's only one issue - if given a photo with multiple barcodes in it, it commonly misses at least one of the barcodes.



That's problematic because a lot of the barcodes that my users have to scan are on boxes/containers with multiple barcodes.



Here's an example Pixel 2 XL box that may need to be scanned:



pixel2 xl box



The IMEI barcode in this picture is never picked up by ML-Kit. However; if I crop out everything else and just send the IMEI barcode through ML-Kit picks it up fine.



Is there anything I can do to help ML-Kit pick up on all of the barcodes?
