Not able to read 2D data matrix in Image

Question

I have to read the 2D data matrix bar code from an Image. I am using zxing to read the barcode. This is the code i am using.

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import com.google.zxing.BinaryBitmap;
import com.google.zxing.ChecksumException;
import com.google.zxing.FormatException;
import com.google.zxing.LuminanceSource;
import com.google.zxing.MultiFormatReader;
import com.google.zxing.NotFoundException;
import com.google.zxing.Reader;
import com.google.zxing.Result;
import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.BufferedImageLuminanceSource;
import com.google.zxing.common.HybridBinarizer;

public class BarcodeGeneration {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        InputStream barCodeInputStream = new FileInputStream("file.jpg");  
        BufferedImage barCodeBufferedImage = ImageIO.read(barCodeInputStream);  
        LuminanceSource source = new BufferedImageLuminanceSource(barCodeBufferedImage);  
        BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(source));  
        Reader reader = new MultiFormatReader();  
        Result result;
        try {
            result = reader.decode(bitmap);
            System.out.println("Barcode text is " + result.getText());
        } catch (NotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ChecksumException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (FormatException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }  


    }

}

The problem is i am not getting the output for all the images. I have downloaded an image from net which is working fine. But for the actual input image i am getting the "com.google.zxing.NotFoundException" exception though it has the data. Can anyone help to overcome this problem or give alternate solution to read 2D Data Matrix.!

Thanks

Its because the 2d matrix is not in the center of the extracted image. So i have resized the image using Image class then it worked.
