Abstract: A method for detecting and dimensioning a target object includes: obtaining depth data representing a target object; defining a mask having a structure which decreases in density away from a central point of the mask; overlaying the mask on the depth data and selecting a subset of the depth data comprising data points which contact the mask; detecting a cluster of data points from the subset; detecting, based on the cluster, the target object; and outputting a representation of the target object.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive door position information that indicates a position of a door of a room. The system may receive, in association with a read operation of an RFID reader, first tag information associated with a first RFID tag, wherein the first tag information is received via a first antenna of the RFID reader, and wherein the RFID reader is disposed within the room and a first directional range of the first antenna is directed toward the door. The system may determine, based on the first tag information being received via the first antenna, a location status of the first RFID tag according to the door position information. The system may perform, based on the location status, an action associated with indicating a location of the first RFID tag.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing out-of-range indications are disclosed. An example imaging reader includes an image sensor and an optical assembly. The imaging reader may include a distance determining module configured to determine a distance to a target. The imaging reader may include an indication determining module configured to determine an out-of-range indication when the distance satisfies a first condition. An indicator may be included and configured to present the out-of-range indication. The image sensor may be configured to capture a representation of an image of the target when the distance satisfies a second condition. The imaging reader may include an indicia decoder configured to decode an indicia in the representation to determine an indicia payload and/or a communication interface to convey the indicia payload to a host system.

Abstract: A weigh platter assembly includes a weigh platter having a proximal edge and a lateral edge and an off-platter detection assembly. The off-platter detection assembly has an assembly field-of-view (field-of-view) extending from the proximal edge and constrained to have an assembly central field-of-view axis substantially parallel to the lateral edge and at least one lateral boundary substantially adjacent to the lateral edge. A light emission assembly has a light source and emits a light away from the proximal edge. A light detection assembly has a light sensor and detects at least a portion of the light reflected towards the proximal edge. A controller allows the measured weight to be recorded in response to a first value from the light detection assembly and prevents the measured weight from being recorded and/or provides an alert in response to a second value from the light detection assembly.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for locating small indicia in large images are disclosed herein. An example method includes: identifying an aiming pattern zone that includes a detected or presumed location of an aiming light pattern, wherein an offset between the location and a center of image data varies due to a parallax; determining one or more coordinates of the aiming pattern zone; capturing image data representing an image of an environment appearing within a field of view (FOV) of a scanner including the indicia; encoding the one or more coordinates into a tagline of the image; and providing the image with the tagline to an indicia decoder such that the indicia decoder attempts to decode the indicia from the image data starting in a region of the image data selected based upon the one or more coordinates.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing one or more imaging settings for a machine vision job are provided. An example method includes configuring a machine vision job by setting a plurality of banks of imaging parameters, with each of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters being different from each other; transmitting the machine vision job to an imaging device; and executing the machine vision job on the imaging device to: (a) capture an image with the imaging device operating pursuant to one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters; (b) attempt to decode a barcode within the image; (c) responsive to successfully decoding the barcode within the image, successfully ending the barcode reader tool; and (d) responsive to unsuccessfully decoding the barcode within the image, repeating (a)-(d) with another one of the one of the plurality of banks of imaging parameters.

Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) reflectors for radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are disclosed. An example RF reflector includes a four-sided housing having an open end, an end, two sides, a top, and an open bottom. The RF reflector is configured to not be electrically coupled to an RFID tag reader. The open end is configured to admit RF signals emitted by the RFID tag reader into the RF reflector, and has a dimension greater than a quarter wavelength of the RF signals. The end, the two sides, and the top include a material that at least partially reflects the RF signals, and the end, the two sides, and the top are electrically connected. Another example RF reflector includes a five-sided housing having two ends, two sides, a top, and an open bottom. One of the ends includes an opening to admit RF signals into the RF reflector.
