Abstract: A code reader for reading an optical code is provided that has a linear image sensor having a plurality of linear arrangements of light reception pixels for recording image data having the code and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to locate and read the code in the image data, wherein the light reception pixels have a different spectral sensitivity. Here, at least one linear arrangement is a white line whose reception pixels are sensitive to white light for recording a gray scale image and the other linear arrangements are color lines whose reception pixels are sensitive to light of only one respective color for recording a color image.

Abstract: A method for brightness and color correction of image data of a line camera is disclosed, wherein, for the detecting of image data with at least two line arrays of the line camera while illuminating a detection area of the line camera with an illumination module, a gray-scale image and at least two single-color images are recorded, and the image data is corrected with the help of a brightness function of the illumination module which is dependent on a line position of the line array and/or a distance of recorded objects. The brightness function is determined for the illumination module in advance and independent of the line camera and is stored in the illumination module, and the brightness function is read out by the line camera and used for the respective correction of the gray-scale image and the single-color images.

Abstract: A method for reading a one-dimensional optical code, wherein image data including the code are captured and a plurality of grayscale value profiles through the code are obtained from the image data, a black-and-white profile is formed from the grayscale value profiles by binarization, and the code content of the code is read from the black-and-white profile, wherein, for preparing the binarization, a sharpened grayscale value profile is first generated from the plurality of grayscale value profiles, the sharpened grayscale value profile having, as compared to the original image data, increased resolution, sharper edges, and more pronounced extrema, and the sharpened grayscale value profile is binarized to form the black-and-white profile.
