Publication number: 20060255144Abstract: The invention relates to a microprocessor-based decoder board for an optical reader having in one embodiment a plurality of imaging modules that provide frames of image data having a plurality of formats. In one method for operating the decoder board of the invention, and a multiple imaging module reader comprising the decoder board, a frame of image data captured by a selected imaging module is decoded. The decoder board determines the format of the frame of image data from information about which of the plurality of imaging modules provided the frame of image data or from information about the frame of image data, activates as necessary a command to prepare the decoder board to decode the frame of image data according to the format provided by the imaging module, and performs the decoding.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Timothy Meier, Robert Gardiner, Jeffrey Harper, John Izzo, Thomas Koziol, Andrew Longacre, John Pettinelli

Publication number: 20040004128Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems for analyzing and decoding image data captured with a one dimensional image sensor using N-bit mathematical methods. The analysis comprises converting a sequence of analog pixel data values to a corresponding sequence of data in an N-bit digital format and processing the data. The data can be analyzed using any or all of filtering, adaptive threshold determination, edge position interpolation, searching for distinctive barcode patterns, and detailed barcode decoding and checking. In alternative embodiments, the data is manipulated using a pre-scan of stored sequences of values. In another embodiment, the data is directly scanned and processed for qualifications, searching for, and decoding barcode patterns.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2003Publication date: January 8, 2004Applicant: Hand Held Products, Inc.Inventors: John Pettinelli, Michael A. Ehrhart, Robert M. Hussey, John Izzo, Thomas J. Koziol, Andrew Longacre, Timothy P. Meier
