Abstract: Technologies for improving imaging system wakeup and indicia decoding are disclosed herein. An example device includes an imaging device disposed proximate to a first edge of a weighing platter of an imaging system, and having a field of view (FOV) including a first object disposed proximate to a second edge of the weighing platter; an illumination source disposed proximate to the first edge of the weighing platter, the illumination source being configured to emit illumination oriented towards the first object; and one or more processors. The one or more processors being configured to: cause the illumination source to emit illumination, cause the imaging device to capture image data representative of an environment appearing within the FOV, determine that a second object satisfies a position threshold relative to at least one of the imaging device or the first object, and generate a wakeup signal to activate the imaging system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to wakeup systems for indicia readers. In an example embodiment, the present invention leverages data sensed through a horizontal window of a bioptic barcode reader to switch from a sleep mode to a read mode. In particular, the sensed data may be used exclusively or as a determinative factor for waking up the barcode reader.

Abstract: A barcode reader has a weigh platter and an off-platter detection assembly. The weigh platter is configured to measure a weight of an object and has a surface extending in a first transverse plane, a proximal edge, a first lateral edge extending non-parallel to the proximal edge, and a distal edge. The off-platter detection assembly includes a light emission assembly and a light detection assembly. The light emission assembly is configured to emit a collimated light beam along the first lateral edge, above the surface. The light diffusing barrier is positioned in a path of the collimated light beam and is configured to diffuse the light beam such that the light diffusing barrier appears to be illuminated when contacted by the light beam and appears not to be illuminated when not contacted by the light beam.

Abstract: At least some embodiments described herein are directed to a machine vision method, which involves capturing both a two-dimensional (2D) image of an object to identify a barcode and determine 3D features, and a three-dimensional (3D) image of the environment. The 3D image data is examined for the presence of the 3D object features. If a feature is missing, a digital fault detection signal is provided. If a feature is present, at least one parameter of the machine vision system is adjusted. The method also includes decoding the barcode and determining the object's orientation based on the barcode location in the 2D image.

Abstract: Methods and systems include using three-dimensional imaging apparatuses to capture three-dimensional images and analyze resulting three-dimensional image data to enhance captured two-dimensional images for scanning related processes such as object identification, symbology detection, object recognition model training, and identifying improper scan attempts or other actions performed by an operator. Imaging systems such as bi-optic readers, handheld scanners, and machine vision systems are described using three-dimensional imaging apparatuses and described capturing three-dimensional images and using with captured two-dimensional images.

Abstract: An imaging system for synchronizing rolling shutter and global shutter sensors is disclosed herein. An example imaging system includes an illumination source configured to emit illumination lasting a predetermined period, a first imaging sensor, and a second imaging sensor. The first imaging sensor is configured to capture first image data representative of an environment appearing within a field of view (FOV) of the first imaging sensor during a first period that overlaps at least partially with the predetermined period, and the first imaging sensor operates as a global shutter imaging sensor. The second imaging sensor is configured to capture second image data representative of an environment appearing within a FOV of the second imaging sensor during a second period that overlaps at least partially with the predetermined period and is different from the first period, and the second imaging sensor operates as a rolling shutter imaging sensor.
