Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an image sensor, a depth sensor, and at least one processor. The image sensor acquires images within a first field-of-view. The depth sensor includes a plurality of photosensitive cells that acquires distance information within a second field-of-view. The second field-of-view at least partially overlaps the first field-of-view. The at least one processor is programmed to transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to satisfaction of a specified criteria based on object information associated with the distance information for an object within the second field-of-view.

Abstract: Methods and systems for avoidance of unintended indicia scanning are disclosed herein. An example system may include an imaging device comprising: (1) one or more image sensors; (2) a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the one or more image sensors and configured to: (i) instruct the one or more image sensors to capture the image data including a plurality of image frames over a FOV, (ii) decode an indicia in an initial image frame of the plurality of image frames to generate decoded indicia data of the indica, (iii) determine a first location associated with the indicia in the initial image frame, (iv) determine a second location associated with the indicia in a subsequent image frame, (v) determine whether a positional difference between the second location and the first location exceeds a threshold value, and (vi) transmit the decoded indicia data of the indicia to a host processor.

Abstract: This disclosure presents an indicia reader equipped with two distinct imaging assemblies and a pair of mirrors, one of which is dichroic. This reader can generate both two-dimensional and three-dimensional image data. The dichroic mirror is designed to pass light in a specific wavelength range while reflecting light in another range, effectively directing different light towards the appropriate imaging assembly. This novel design enables efficient packaging of essential hardware, enhancing the reader's functionality for industries that require item tracking.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting scan volume are provided. An example includes an indicia reading system comprising a two-dimensional (2D) imaging assembly having at least one 2D imaging sensor and operable to capture 2D image data over at least one 2D field of view (FOV); a three-dimensional (3D) imaging assembly having at least one depth sensor and operable to capture depth data over at least one 3D FOV; and a processor configured to: perform a decoding operation on an indicia appearing in the 2D image data and transmit a payload of the indicia to a host when (i) the indicia is captured in the 2D image data and (ii) at least one of the indicia or an object bearing the indicia is positioned within a 3D scan volume.

Abstract: Systems and methods for object locationing to initiate an identification session are disclosed herein. An example method includes capturing, by a first imager of an imaging assembly, an image including image data of a target location at a checkout station. The example method further includes analyzing the image data to identify an object transportation apparatus positioned proximate to the target location, and determining, based on the image data, whether the object transportation apparatus is located within the target location. The example method further includes, responsive to determining that the object transportation apparatus is located within the target location, initiating, by a second imager of the imaging assembly, an identification session to verify that each object in the object transportation apparatus is included on a list of decoded indicia.
