  • Associating a code with an object
    Patent number: 9305231
    Abstract: Described are machine vision systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer program products for associating codes with objects. In an embodiment, a machine vision system includes an area-scan camera having a field of view (FOV), the area-scan camera disposed relative to a first workspace such that the FOV covers at least a portion of the first workspace and a dimensioner disposed relative to a second workspace. The machine vision system includes a machine vision processor configured to: determine an image location of a code in an image; determine a ray in a shared coordinate space that is a back-projection of the image location of the code; determine one or more surfaces of one or more objects based on dimensioning data; determine a first surface of the one or more surfaces that intersects the 3D ray; and associate the code with an object associated with the first surface.
