What does the general document barcode paragraph polygon represent? (2023-07-31 GA)
I have been reviewing analysis results for a pdf file which has a code39 barcode at the top of the first page. I have analyzed the document using the general document model with the barcodes feature in the 2023-07-31 GA API version. The barcode data returned makes sense, but I am unable to make sense of the paragraph polygon which represents the barcode.
The paragraph data is as follows...
{
"spans": [
{
"offset": 0,
"length": 9
}
],
"boundingRegions": [
{
"pageNumber": 1,
"polygon": [
0.0023,
0.0011,
0.0322,
0.0011,
0.0322,
0.0024,
0.0023,
0.0024
]
}
],
"content": ":barcode:"
}
I'm struggling to understand what the polygon represents. It isn't the polygon of the barcode because it doesn't match that returned with the barcode information. It isn't the polygon of ":barcode:" because that text is just a placeholder in the "content". Can someone explain what this polygon represents?
For reference the data for the barcode is...
{
"kind": "Code39",
"value": "XXX-914458-10282022-0000001",
"span": {
"offset": 0,
"length": 9
},
"polygon": [
0.4728,
0.2292,
6.7522,
0.2292,
6.7522,
0.4965,
0.4728,
0.4965
],
