    Abstract: Barcode readers with transflective mirrors are disclosed herein. An example barcode reader includes a housing and a window positioned within the housing, an imaging sensor and an illumination source positioned within the housing, and a transflective mirror positioned within the housing. The field-of-view of the imaging sensor is directed through the window along a first central axis of the field-of-view of the imaging sensor and the illumination pattern from the illumination source is directed through the window along a second central axis of the illumination pattern that is substantially parallel to the first central axis of the field-of-view of the imaging sensor.

    Abstract: A bioptic barcode reader has a housing having a lower housing portion with an upper surface and an upper housing portion extending above the lower housing portion. A generally horizontal window is positioned at the upper surface, a generally upright window is positioned in the upper housing portion, and an imaging assembly having a primary field-of-view and a set of optical components are positioned within the interior region. The housing has a width greater than or equal to 5 inches and less than or equal to 7 inches, the lower housing portion has a height greater than or equal to 3 inches, the upper housing portion has a height greater than or equal to 4 inches and less than or equal to 6 inches, and the upper surface has a length greater than or equal to 6 inches and less than or equal to 8 inches.

    Abstract: A kiosk includes a barcode reader module, vision camera, and central processing unit positioned within a housing. The housing defines a front surface and has an upper portion that extends outward past the front surface. The barcode reader module includes an imaging assembly with a first field-of-view that defines a product scanning region. The vision camera is positioned within the upper portion of the housing with at least a portion of the vision camera located forward of the front surface of the housing and has a second field-of-view facing generally downward and intersecting the first field-of-view of the barcode reader module within the product scanning region. The central processing unit is operatively connected to the barcode reader module and the vision camera and is configured to decode barcodes captured by the barcode reader module and perform advanced processing of images received from the vision camera.

    Abstract: An example object recognition and weighing apparatus for use with a POS terminal includes a weigh platter; a scale configured to measure a weight of the item when placed on the weigh platter; an off-platter detection assembly configured to detect an off-platter condition; an object recognition assembly configured to capture image data associated with the item, and based on the image data that includes non-barcode data, identify the item; a communication interface configured to communicate with the POS terminal; a processor in communication with the scale, the off-platter detection assembly, and the communication interface; and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the object recognition and weighing apparatus to, responsive to detecting the off-platter condition, prevent a transmission of the identified item to the POS terminal until the off-platter condition is no longer detected.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a housing having an optically transmissive window, a first imaging assembly, and a second imaging assembly. A second imaging sensor of the second imaging assembly is positioned within a bottom portion of the housing height and a front portion of the housing depth. The second imaging sensor may be positioned in either a landscape orientation or a portrait orientation. A downstream region is defined between a downstream side of a first field of view of the first imaging sensor and a downstream side of a second field of view of the second imaging sensor to allow the imaging device to determine whether an indicia associated with a product captured within the downstream region was previously captured in the first field of view, thereby facilitating detection of scan avoidance or ticket switching.

    Abstract: Handheld barcode readers and assemblies are disclosed herein. An example handheld barcode reader includes a housing defining a head portion and a base portion, a vision camera positioned in the base portion, a barcode reading module positioned at least partially in the head portion, and a controller in communication with the barcode reading module and the vision camera. The vision camera has a first FOV directed through a base window in the base portion and the barcode reading module has a second FOV directed through a scan window in the head portion. The controller is configured to decode barcodes read by the barcode reading module, receive captured images from the vision camera, and synchronize the barcode reading module and the vision camera such that the vision camera does not capture images when the barcode reading module is active.

    Abstract: Barcode readers with off-platter detection assemblies are disclosed herein. An example barcode reader includes a weigh platter and an off-platter detection assembly including a light emission assembly, a light detection assembly, and a controller. The light emission assembly emits a light along a first lateral edge of the weigh platter and the light detection assembly detects at least a portion of the light from the light emission assembly. The controller is configured to: receive a light detection signal from the light detection assembly; compare the light detection signal to a first signal threshold and a second signal threshold range; execute a first event if the light detection signal is less than the first signal threshold, indicating an off-platter event; and execute a second event if the light detection signal is within the second signal threshold range for a predetermined period of time, indicating a maintenance event.
