AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the need for separate sensors in barcode and machine vision processing systems leads to high system costs, large footprint, and numerous potential points of failure. Furthermore, different uses and applications have different requirements for field of view and resolution, which increases the complexity of the system.

Method used

A single-camera system is used, employing two image sensors with different fields of view to capture high-resolution and low-resolution image data respectively. These data are then transmitted to the corresponding modules for processing via different data pipelines, enabling barcode decoding and machine vision processing.

Benefits of technology

By reducing electrical, mechanical, and optical components, system costs and power consumption are lowered, system structure is simplified, and system flexibility and efficiency are improved.

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for performing barcode scanning and machine vision processing using a single camera. An example system includes an image sensor configured to capture low resolution image data of a large field of view and high resolution image data of a small field of view. A first data pipeline is configured to transfer the low resolution image data to a first module configured to perform image processing on the low resolution image data. A second data pipeline is configured to transfer the high resolution image data to a second module configured to perform image processing on the high resolution image data. Machine readable instructions cause the system to capture image data of a large field of view or image data of a small field of view, and a processor transfers the low resolution image data via the first data pipeline or the high resolution image data via the second data pipeline.
