Abstract: A method includes, in executing at least one routine of a scan engine pipeline, decoding an encoded data marking within a scan image captured by a scan engine to retrieve data encoded in the encoded data marking, encoding the data in at least one new encoded data marking within at least one generated image, and providing the at least one generated image to a camera pipeline through a camera driver interface to a camera pipeline; in executing at least one routine of the camera pipeline, relaying the at least one generated image to a camera scan application through a camera API; and in executing the camera scan application, decoding the at least one new encoded data marking within the at least one generated image to retrieve the first data.

Abstract: An optical scanner determines ranging to a subject using a localization phase in which a series of image frames is received which collectively contains an aimer spot captured as a reflection off of a surface of the subject. The optical scanner includes an idle phase in which the optical scanner remains idle with respect to parameter setting and evaluation but is configured to detect scene changes within its field of view, an initial phase that is entered into after the idle phase responsive to an activation event and not detecting a scene change, the initial phase including a configuration based operational parameter setting with a plurality of different configurations, and a decode phase that is entered into after the idle phase responsive to an activation event and detecting a scene change.
