Abstract: Indicia readers with internal displays are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, an indicia reader includes a housing having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion having a first window positioned in a generally horizontal plane, the top portion having a second window positioned in a generally upright plane. The reader further includes an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly configured to capture image data associated with an item presented at a product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader. Additionally, the reader includes a user-interface (UI) display positioned within the housing, the UI display configured to present visual data to an operator of the bi-optic reader, wherein the visual data includes data associated with the item presented at the product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader.

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: A system is disclosed that includes an image sensor, a depth sensor, and at least one processor. The image sensor acquires images within a first field-of-view. The depth sensor includes a plurality of photosensitive cells that acquires distance information within a second field-of-view. The second field-of-view at least partially overlaps the first field-of-view. The at least one processor is programmed to transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to satisfaction of a specified criteria based on object information associated with the distance information for an object within the second field-of-view.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an indicia decoding device with a printed circuit board (PCB) that allows signals from internal imaging assemblies to pass through a sealed cavity boundary to an external host. This device comprises a decode module, an upright and horizontally mounted window, and multiple imaging assemblies housed within a sealed cavity. The PCB is partially located inside and outside the cavity, featuring ports inside and outside the sealed cavity. Signals from secondary imaging assemblies bypass the decode module, utilizing electrically conductive paths on the PCB, ensuring signal integrity without modification. The PCB may also include image processing circuitry, with results transmitted to the host.

Abstract: At least some embodiments presented herein are directed to bi-optic indicia readers. In at least some embodiments the present invention is a bi-optic indicia reader that includes two FOVs which are configured to allow the reader to capture and successfully decode a 13-mil indicia presented to a respective FOV in a plane that is angled at least 80 degree to a plane that is defined by the window of the reader through which the FOV is passing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for avoidance of unintended indicia scanning are disclosed herein. An example system may include an imaging device comprising: (1) one or more image sensors; (2) a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the one or more image sensors and configured to: (i) instruct the one or more image sensors to capture the image data including a plurality of image frames over a FOV, (ii) decode an indicia in an initial image frame of the plurality of image frames to generate decoded indicia data of the indica, (iii) determine a first location associated with the indicia in the initial image frame, (iv) determine a second location associated with the indicia in a subsequent image frame, (v) determine whether a positional difference between the second location and the first location exceeds a threshold value, and (vi) transmit the decoded indicia data of the indicia to a host processor.

Abstract: Machine vision devices and systems with automatically switchable direct and diffused illumination are provided herein. An example includes a machine vision system, comprising an image capture device, a material with switchable optical properties, wherein the material with switchable optical properties has a transparent state and a translucent state, and a light source, wherein the light source is positioned to illuminate a target of the image capture device, and the material with switchable optical properties is positioned between the light source and the target of the image capture device and configured to switch between the transparent state which is configured to provide direct illumination of the target and the translucent state which is configured to provide diffused illumination of the target.

Abstract: This disclosure presents an indicia reader equipped with two distinct imaging assemblies and a pair of mirrors, one of which is dichroic. This reader can generate both two-dimensional and three-dimensional image data. The dichroic mirror is designed to pass light in a specific wavelength range while reflecting light in another range, effectively directing different light towards the appropriate imaging assembly. This novel design enables efficient packaging of essential hardware, enhancing the reader's functionality for industries that require item tracking.
