Wrong EAN13 code detected - am I doing something wrong?
See original GitHub issue
The above-attached image is wrongly detected - I used:
wget https://github.com/zxing/zxing/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd zxing-master/
mvn compile
cd javase/target/classes/
java -cp .:../../../core/target/classes com/google/zxing/client/j2se/CommandLineRunner why.png --try_harder --pure_barcode
…which prints a wrong number (compare to that in the image):
Raw result:
000642109420
Parsed result:
000642109420
Found 2 result points.
Point 0: (78.5,64.0)
Point 1: (335.5,64.0)
Am I doing something wrong, or is this kind of errors something to be expected when trying to detect barcodes?
P.S. In case it helps, the barcode was generated inside a Jasper Report, with the Barbeque library, and the document was then scanned back.

Erm, if you can control the format, you should just use a different format with a more robust checksum. How about Code 128?
I am also facing this issue, hopefully using Code 128 will help ensure the barcodes return the right numbers, with this format.
