IMAGING READER WITH PLURAL SOLID-STATE IMAGERS FOR ELECTRO-OPTICALLY READING INDICIA

摘要

A plurality of solid-state imagers is mounted in a reader, such as a bi-optical, dual window, point-of-transaction workstation, for capturing images along different fields of view of diverse targets useful for customer identification, customer payment validation, operator surveillance, and coded indicia. The imagers are commonIy mounted on a circuit board for joint installation at, and joint removal from, the reader for ease of serviceability.
