First Claim
Patent Images
1. An indicia reading apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor array having a plurality of pixels, the image sensor array having a color filter array;
an image frame memory that retains pixel values making up a frame of image data, wherein the indicia reading apparatus is configured to read out image signals from said image sensor array and to digitize such signals for output of image data to the image frame memory;
an operator selectable configuration;
wherein the indicia reading apparatus with the operator selectable configuration active applies a mean filter subsequently to a trigger signal activation so that image data output by the indicia reading apparatus is subject to mean filtering wherein blocks of pixel values corresponding to pixels of the plurality of pixels are averaged for output of filtered image data;
wherein the indicia reading apparatus is operative for processing for attempting to decode a decodable indicia using the filtered image data.
