1. A method of determining an initial point for a scan path, the method comprising:
- acquiring, using a mobile device, an image of an object, the image comprising decodable indicia;
decoding, using the mobile device, data from the decodable indicia;
determining indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia based on the data comprising scanning the decodable indicia to obtain data indicating the indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia;
determining image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image comprising detecting one or more edges of the object within the image; and
calculating an initial location of the mobile device relative to the decodable indicia based on a geometric relationship between the indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia and the image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image.

Abstract
A system and method of determining an initial point for a scan path may include acquiring, using a mobile device, an image of an object, the image comprising decodable indicia. Using the mobile device, data is decoded from the decodable indicia. Indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia are determined based on the data, and image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image are determined. An initial location of the mobile device is calculated relative to the decodable indicia based on a geometric relationship between the indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia and the image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image.

12. A method of determining an initial point for a scan path, the method comprising:
-
acquiring, using a mobile device, an image of an object, the image comprising decodable indicia; decoding, using the mobile device, data from the decodable indicia; determining indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia based on the data; determining image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image; and calculating an initial location of the mobile device relative to the decodable indicia based on a geometric relationship between the indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia and the image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image, wherein the geometric relationship comprises a ratio of the indicia dimensions to the image dimensions, and wherein the calculating an initial location of the mobile device relative to the decodable indicia based on a geometric relationship comprises multiplying a base distance by the ratio to determine a distance of the mobile device from the decodable indicia. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of determining an initial point for a scan path, the method comprising:
-
acquiring, using a mobile device, an image of an object, the image comprising decodable indicia; decoding, using the mobile device, data from the decodable indicia; determining indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia based on the data; determining image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image; and calculating an initial location of the mobile device relative to the decodable indicia based on a geometric relationship between the indicia dimensions of the decodable indicia and the image dimensions of the decodable indicia in the image by; determining an x distance of the mobile device from an origin using decodable indicia dimension data decoded from the decodable indicia; and determining a y distance of the mobile device from the origin.
