IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING IMAGING ASSEMBLY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for reading indicia, comprising:
- an imaging assembly comprising an image sensor having a plurality of pixels and optics for focusing an image onto the image sensor;
wherein the apparatus is operable to;
capture a relatively smaller sized frame of image data;
process the relatively smaller sized frame of image data; and
responsively to processing the relatively smaller sized frame of image data, capture one or more relatively larger sized frames of image data for use in attempting to decode an indicia, the one or more relatively larger sized frames of image data having image data corresponding to a predetermined set of pixels of said image sensor and representing a larger portion of the indicia than image data of the relatively smaller sized frame of image data.

Abstract
There is described an imaging apparatus having an imaging assembly that includes an image sensor. The imaging apparatus can capture a frame of image data having image data corresponding to a first set of pixels of the image sensor. The imaging apparatus can capture a frame or image data having image data corresponding to a second set of pixels of the image sensor.

11. An apparatus for reading indicia, comprising:
-
an imaging assembly comprising an image sensor having a plurality of pixels and optics for focusing an image onto the image sensor; wherein the apparatus is operable to; capture a first frame of image data having image data corresponding to a first set of pixels of the image sensor; process the first frame of image data; responsively to processing the first frame of image data, determine a second set of pixels that is different from the first set of pixels; and responsively to processing the first frame of image data, capture a second frame of image data having image data corresponding to the second set of pixels of the image sensor for use in attempting to decode an indicia. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus for reading indicia, comprising:
-
an imaging assembly comprising an image sensor having a plurality of pixels and optics for focusing an image onto the image sensor; wherein the apparatus is operable to; capture a first frame of image data having image data corresponding to a first set of pixels of the image sensor; process the first frame of image data to determine if the first frame of image data comprises a portion of a 2D indicia; responsively to determining that the first frame of image data comprises a portion of a 2D indicia, determine a second set of pixels that is different from the first set of pixels; and responsively to processing the first frame of image data, capture a second frame of image data having image data corresponding to the second set of pixels of the image sensor for use in attempting to decode the 2D indicia. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
