    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing three-dimensional measurements are disclosed herein. An example system includes an imaging system with a scan platter defining a spatial region within which an object may be imaged. The imaging system has first optics configured to image a first field of view of the imaging system, and second optics configured to image a second field of view of the imaging system. The second field of view spatially overlaps at least partially with the first field of view to form an overlap region, with the overlap region being a three-dimensional volume extending along a length of the scan platter. The system may further include a processor configured to analyze images of the first and second fields of view and determine at least one common point between the first and second images. The processor then further determines three-dimensional information of an object from the determined common point.

    Abstract: Techniques for weight checking to verify ticket switching are disclosed. The system includes a weighing scale, cameras to capture images of items and their barcodes, a processor, and memory with instructions. The processor determines a first identification from the barcode image and a second identification from the item image. It compares these identifications to check for a match. If they do not match, it prompts the user to place the item on the scale. If the item's weight does not match the expected weight for the first identification, the system triggers mitigation actions such as pausing transactions or alerting staff.t

    Abstract: Techniques for item processing within a space are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving item-identification data, the item-identification data based on vision data captured by a machine vision component and/or a user-provided data captured by a user interface; receiving, via the user interface, input from a user indicating a selected item category for the item; determining, based on the item-identification data and the selected category, at least one of: (i) the user visited a location within the space associated with items in the selected category; or (ii) the user did not visit the location within the space associated with the items in the selected category; responsive to determining (i), generating, by the processor, a first response signal associated with the item; and responsive to determining (ii), generating, by the processor, a second response signal associated with the item including an alert signal associated with an item mismatch.

    Abstract: Imaging systems for imaging or scanning objects by redirecting portions of a field of view (FOV) are described herein. An example imaging system includes: an imaging assembly; a platter including a redirection element; and a computer-readable media storing machine readable instructions that cause the imaging system to: capture the image data in the FOV, wherein a first subset of pixels captures a first subset of the image data associated with a first portion of the FOV not redirected by the redirection element, and a second subset of pixels captures a second subset of the image data associated with a redirected portion of the FOV redirected by the redirection element; process the first subset of image data via a first module to perform a first vision operation; and process the second subset of image data via a second module to perform a second vision operation.

    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: A method and system for decoding data appearing within a field of view (FOV) of an indicia reader includes providing first illumination to a first region of the FOV, the FOV further having a second region of the FOV that does not receive the first illumination. An imaging assembly captures image data of an environment within the FOV. Responsive to determining a presence of an indicia within the first region of the FOV, the method further includes at least one of (i) transmitting the image data to a decoder module, (ii) decoding the indicia by the decoder module, or (iii) generating a successful decode operation. Responsive to determining a presence of indicia within the second region of the FOV, the method includes performing at least one of (i) not transmitting the image data to the decoder module, (ii) not decoding the indicia by the decoder module, or (iii) not generating a successful decode operation.

The reader includes a reader enclosure having a top portion and a bottom portion and a reader base including a curved base surface. The bottom portion of the reader enclosure is mechanically coupled to the reader base. The stand includes a platform and a wall extending therefrom in a generally upward direction. The reader base is mechanically coupled to the stand such that the reader is rotatable relative to the stand.

    Abstract: Indicia readers with multiple imaging assemblies and dichroic mirrors are disclosed herein. In an example, an indicia reader like a barcode reader includes a first (2D) imaging assembly operable to sense light in the 700 nm or below wavelength range, a second (3D) imaging assembly operable to sense light in the above 700 nm wavelength range, and a dichroic mirror. The mirror is situated such that (i) light that is received by the first imaging assembly is received from a product scanning region and is reflected by the mirror such that its path is redirected towards and the first imaging assembly and (ii) light that is received by the second imaging assembly is received from the product scanning region by passing through the mirror toward the second imaging assembly.
