    摘要: This provides an ID reader, typically configured for handheld operation, which integrates three types of illumination into a compact package that generates robust performance and resistance to harsh environmental conditions, such as dust and moisture. These illumination types include, direct (diffuse) light, low-angle light and polarized light. The ID reader includes a sealed reader module assembly having the illuminators in combination with an imager assembly (optics and image sensor) at its relative center. Additionally, also an on-axis aimer and a variable focus system with liquid lens have been integrated in this module and is placed on axis using a mirror assembly that includes a dichroic filter. As the optimal distance to read a code with low-angle light is typically shorter than the optimal distance to use the polarized illumination a variable (e.g. liquid) lens can adjust the focus of the reader to the optimal distance for the selected illumination.

    摘要: An image based code reader comprises an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to acquire an image of a code. Additionally, the image based code reader includes a lens configured to project an image scene including the code onto the image sensor, the lens comprising a variable optical power that controls a focus distance of the image based code reader. The image based code reader further includes a processor operatively coupled to the image sensor and the lens. The processor is configured to acquire the image of the code using only pixels located within a region of interest of the sensor, and a size of the region of interest is selected based on the focus distance of the reader.

    摘要: A method for an imaging module can include rotating an imaging assembly that includes an imaging device about a first pivot point of a bracket to a select first orientation, fastening the imaging assembly to the bracket at the first orientation, rotating a mirror assembly that includes a mirror about a second pivot point of the bracket to a select second orientation, and fastening the mirror assembly to the bracket at the second orientation. An adjustable, selectively oriented imaging assembly of a first imaging module can acquire images using an adjustable, selectively oriented mirror assembly of a second imaging module.
