Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imaging system for acquiring images of multiple indicia, such as symbols and non-symbols, on a target, such as a label, comprises a solid-state imager having an array of image sensors for capturing light from the indicia on the target over a field of view, and a controller having a stored template that identifies details of the indicia on the target, for controlling the imager to capture the light from the indicia based on the details identified by the template.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An imaging system for acquiring images of multiple indicia on a target, comprising: a solid-state imager having an array of image sensors for capturing light from the indicia on the target over a field of view to form a target image; a controller having a stored template that identifies details of the indicia on the target, for controlling the imager to capture the light from the indicia based on the details identified by the template; wherein the target is a labe…
