[Feature] IMb - Intelligent Mail Barcode

[tctlrd]

Thank you for making an incredible barcode scanner! It is the best.

I would like to see the USPS IMb included in Binary Eye.

Intelligent Mail® Barcode

The Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb) is used to sort and track letters, cards and flats and offers greater versatility by allowing many services to be requested and embedded within one barcode. The Intelligent Mail barcode combines the data of the existing POSTNET™ and the PLANET Code® barcodes, as well as other data, into a single barcode. — source: USPS Site

There is one functional IMb scanner app out there: com.solvoj.imb.android.app

Thanks for using the app and especially for this great tip! 👍 I didn't know about the Intelligent Mail Barcode yet. Definitely looks interesting!

@axxel Would you be interested in adding the Intelligent Mail Barcode format to ZXing-C++?

@markusfisch no worries. I appreciate your speedy response! @axxel thank you for your diligent work on ZXing-C++ - a great project! @Solvoj, @mhcuervo, thank you for your IMb app. Could you help @axxel, if he needs anything?

I would certainly consider adding it but I don't have time to work on it myself for the time being. If someone would like to look into this, I recommend to look at the DXFilmEdge reader code as a starting point.
