摘要： Digital image capture and processing systems and methods for generating and projecting coplanar illumination and imaging planes and/or coextensive area-type illumination and imaging zones, through one or more imaging windows, and into a 3D imaging volume in a retail POS environments, while employing automatic object motion and/or velocity detection, real-time image analysis and other techniques to capture and processing high-quality digital images of objects passing through the 3D imaging volume, and intelligently controlling and/or managing the use of visible and invisible forms of illumination, during object illumination and imaging operations, that might otherwise annoy or disturb human operators and/or customers working and/or shopping in such retail environments.

摘要： A tunnel-type digital imaging-based system capable of generating and projecting coplanar and/or coextensive illumination and imaging planes or zones into a 3D imaging volume within a tunnel structure. The system includes a tunnel housing structure which is supported above a package conveyor in a retail environment, and employs automatic package detection, identification, profiling/dimensioning, weighing, tracking and correlating techniques during self-checkout and/or cashier-assisted operations for achieving increased levels of efficiency and productivity.

摘要： A digital image capture and processing system (1) capable of implementing a set of system configuration parameters in system memory (137) by automatically detecting and implementing a communication interface using a software-controlled interface detection/test process. The system is capable of unlocking restricted extended features and functionalities embodied within the reading of one or more feature/functionality-unlocking programming-type bar code symbols. Also, when used on a countertop-surface, the system is capable of illuminating objects located within the working distance of the system, while minimizing annoyance to the operator, as well as others in the vicinity thereof during system operation.
