An imaging device (100, 400) is disclosed wherein the imaging portion (120, 410) of the imaging device (100, 400) has an optical positioning system (130, 132, 420, 422) integrated therein. The imaging device (100, 400) has a linear array (410) of photodetector elements (120, 414) that are used to generate machine-readable image data representing an object (200) being imaged. At least one two-dimensional photodetector segment (130, 132, 420, 422) comprising a two-dimensional array of photodetector elements (147) is integrated into the linear array (410) of photodetector elements (120, 414). The two-dimensional photodetector segments (130, 132, 420, 422) serve the dual function of providing image data and positioning data. <IMAGE> |
