POINT-OF-TRANSACTION WORKSTATION FOR ELECTRO-OPTICALLY READING ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND TWO-DIMENSIONAL INDICIA BY IMAGE CAPTURE

摘要

A solid-state imager is mounted at a point-of-transaction workstation for capturing images of one- and two-dimensional indicia and is operated at high speed to resist image blurring due to relative movement between the target and the imager. Dedicated hardware assistance and computation resources are allocated to decode multiple, continuous and simultaneous video streams from multiple imagers at the workstation.
