Barcode Scanner with Vision System and Shared Illumination - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828759 titled 'Barcode Scanner with Vision System and Shared Illumination

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an imaging system with a shared illumination source.

  • The imaging system includes an illumination source that emits an illumination pulse for a specific period.
  • The system also includes a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus, each with their own imaging sensor and control circuitry.
  • A processor is used to receive and analyze the image data captured by the imaging sensors.
  • The processor performs an indicia decoding analysis on the second image data, which is used to decode specific markings or symbols.
  • The processor also performs an image analysis on the first image data, without including the indicia decoding analysis.
  • The purpose of this system is to provide a simplified and efficient way of capturing and analyzing images using a shared illumination source.


Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging system with a shared illumination source is disclosed herein. An example imaging system includes an illumination source configured to emit an illumination pulse that provides illumination during a predetermined period, a first imaging apparatus, a second imaging apparatus, and a processor. The first imaging apparatus comprises: a first imaging sensor configured to capture first image data, and a first imaging control circuitry configured to expose the first imaging sensor. The second imaging apparatus comprises: a second imaging sensor configured to capture second image data, and a second imaging control circuitry configured to expose the second imaging sensor. The processor is configured to: receive the first image data and the second image data, perform an indicia decoding analysis on the second image data, and perform an image analysis on the first image data that does not include the indicia decoding analysis.
