  • Object dimensioning system and method
    Patent number: 10937183
    Abstract: Determining dimensions of an object can include determining a distance between the object and an imaging device, and an angle of an optical axis of the imaging device. One of more features of the object can be identified in an image of the object. The dimensions of the object can be determined based upon the distance, the angle, and the one or more identified features.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: COGNEX CORPORATION
    Inventors: José Fernandez-Dorado, Emilio Pastor Mira, Francisco Azcona Guerrero, Ivan Bachelder, Laurens Nunnink, Torsten Kempf, Savithri Vaidyanathan, Kyra Moed, John Bryan Boatner

  • Barcode decoding
    Patent number: 9361499
    Abstract: Systems and methods for decoding a barcode are disclosed. A scan signal for a first portion of the barcode is acquired. Integrated sub-character barcode feature evidence for the barcode is stored including evidence for a first plurality of possible sub-character barcode feature interpretations for a first plurality of sub-character barcode features. Sub-character barcode feature measurements are extracted for a second plurality of sub-character barcode features from the scan signal. Sub-character barcode feature evidence is determined for the second plurality of sub-character barcode features, including evidence for a second plurality of possible sub-character barcode feature interpretations for the second plurality of sub-character barcode features. Whether a portion of the integrated sub-character barcode feature evidence corresponds to a portion of the sub-character barcode feature evidence is determined. The sub-character barcode feature evidence is integrated into the integrated sub-character barcode.
