Overview R&D Decoding Software Application Engineer at Datalogic. The Decoding Software team is responsible for research and development of a suite of proprietary algorithms to read traditional barcodes, 2D codes and some OCR text. Codes and text can be printed on paper labels or directly marked on parts of plastic, metal, wood, or other materials. Monochrome or color pictures of codes and text are captured by cameras embedded into Datalogic scanners and their image quality parameters strongly depend on the use case.
