Abstract: A barcode reader having alternating illumination for a single sensor split into multiple fields of view (FOVs) is disclosed herein. An example barcode reader includes an image sensor having a primary FOV and operable at a predetermined framerate, an optical assembly configured to split the primary FOV into first and second subfields of view, an illumination assembly configured to illuminate targets appearing within the first and second subfields of view, a controller, and a decoder. The controller instructs the image sensor to capture a first image with a first exposure duration while having the illumination assembly be activated for at least a portion of the first exposure duration and a second image with a different second exposure duration while having the illumination assembly be activated for at least a portion of the second exposure duration. From the first and second images, the decoder attempts to decode a barcode.

Abstract: A barcode reader is provided. The barcode reader comprises an imaging assembly having a field of view (FOV) extending along one or more horizontal planes and a housing of the imaging assembly, the housing being a cuboid shape having six sides. The FOV of the imaging assembly passes through an opening in a first side of the housing with a width that is 1.5 inches or greater. The first side of the housing has a width that is greater than or equal to 2.5 inches and less than or equal to 3.5 inches, and has a height that is greater than or equal to 2.0 inches and less than or equal to 3.5 inches. The housing is substantially stable when at least a portion of a second side of the housing, substantially parallel to at least one of the one or more horizontal planes, is placed on a flat surface.

Abstract: Imaging arrangements and barcode readers including such imaging arrangements. An imaging arrangement for use in a barcode reader includes a housing. The imaging arrangement also includes a light source configured to emit light along a central light axis. The light source is disposed in the housing. The imaging arrangement also includes a lens having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The lens is disposed in the housing. The first surface is configured to face the light source and is structured to substantially collimate light received from the light source into a collimated beam. The second surface includes surface structures structured to generate a patterned beam in response to receiving the collimated beam.

Abstract: An imaged-based scanner includes a housing having a lower portion, an upper portion, and an extension arm extending upward from the lower portion to the upper portion. A lower portion includes a base having an exit window and an imaging assembly mounted in that base with at least one field of view directed upwardly through the exit window. The upper portion has imaging assembly that has at least two fields of view. That upper imaging assembly is mounted such that the two fields of view extend downwardly toward the lower portion with each field of view positioned to have a central axis that is offset with respect to a center normal of the exit window.

Abstract: Indicia readers with internal displays are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, an indicia reader includes a housing having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion having a first window positioned in a generally horizontal plane, the top portion having a second window positioned in a generally upright plane. The reader further includes an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly configured to capture image data associated with an item presented at a product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader. Additionally, the reader includes a user-interface (UI) display positioned within the housing, the UI display configured to present visual data to an operator of the bi-optic reader, wherein the visual data includes data associated with the item presented at the product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader.

Abstract: Various vision devices are disclosed herein. An example vision device is an indicia reader that includes a housing, an imaging assembly having a field of view (FOV) extending into a product-scanning region and configured to capture image data depicting an environment appearing within the FOV, and an illumination assembly configured to emit a structured light into the product-scanning region such that at least a portion of the structured light overlaps with at least a portion of the FOV in the product-scanning region. The indicia reader is selectively operable pursuant to one of a first or a second set of operating parameters based on a distance value, where that value is determined by analyzing, in the image data, an appearance of the structured light on some portion of an object appearing within the FOV.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for operating an indicia reader. An example system includes an imaging assembly, at least one processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: capture and store in memory one or more images comprising image data; generate one or more lower resolution images comprising lower resolution image data corresponding to the one or more images; analyze the lower resolution image data to detect an object of interest; in response to detecting the object of interest and having the object meet a predetermined condition, determine a region of interest in the one or more lower resolution images corresponding to the object; access the one or more images from memory; generate cropped image data by cropping the one or more images to include the region of interest; analyze the cropped image data to determine information corresponding to the object; and transmit a message to a host.
