The system can be further configured to select the first suitable or the best suitable image sensor for the attempted decodable indicia reading operation based upon the comparison result. The system can be further configured to notify the system operator which image sensor has been selected. The system can be further configured to obtain a decodable indicia image by the selected image sensor.

-
Image terminal 100 can be operative so that terminal 100 captures a frame of image data responsively to trigger 1110 being actuated. A frame captured intomemory 1080 prior to further processing byCPU 1060 can be regarded a raw frame. - In another aspect, for attempting to decode a bar code symbol, e.g., a one dimensional bar code symbol, the decodable
indicia reading system 100 can process image data of a frame corresponding to a line of pixel positions (e.g., a row, a column, or a diagonal set of pixel positions) to determine a spatial pattern of dark and light cells and can convert each light and dark cell pattern determined into a character or character string via table lookup. Where a decodable indicia representation is a 2D bar code symbology, a decode attempt can comprise the steps of locating a finder pattern using a feature detection algorithm, locating matrix lines intersecting the finder pattern according to a predetermined relationship with the finder pattern, determining a pattern of dark and light cells along the matrix lines, and converting each light pattern into a character or character string via table lookup. In one embodiment, the decodableindicia reading system 100 can be operative to capture a frame of image data and process the frame for attempting to decode the frame responsively to an actuation oftrigger 1110. When processing a color frame of image data for attempting to decode a decodable indicia, thesystem 100 can first transform the color image data into monochrome image data. Such transformation can comprise utilizing image data from only a single channel of pixel positions (e.g., by interpolating pixel values for blue and red pixel positions utilizing pixel values at green pixel positions so that an all green frame is output, which can be regarded as a monochrome frame of image data). - In one embodiment, the decodable
indicia reading system 100 can, responsively to an actuation of thetrigger 1110, capture a frame of image data and subjects image data of a frame to a decode attempt. Also, responsively to an actuation of thetrigger 1110, the decodableindicia reading system 100 can format image data of a captured frame into a standard image format, e.g., BMP, PDF, JPG, TIF and can transmit the formatted image file to an external computer, e.g.,server 200,server 400,client computer 500. - One embodiment of a physical form factor of the decodable indicia reading system is shown in
FIG. 1 . Components described with reference toFIG. 1 can be disposed within portable hand heldhousing 110 and can be supported within a portable hand heldhousing 110. Referring to further aspect of thedata collection system 10000, each ofserver 200,server 400, andclient computer 500 can include components described with reference to the decodableindicia reading system 100. In some instances, the decodableindicia reading system 100,server 400 andclient computer 500 can have devices in addition to those shown inFIG. 1 . In some instances theservers client computer 500 can have components deleted relative to those shown inFIG. 1 (for example, theserver 200 can be devoid of adisplay 1140 andimaging assemblies 1630, 1730). - As noted herein supra, the decodable
indicia reading system 100 can include two or more imaging assemblies. In one embodiment, a first imaging assembly can be provided by a monochrome imaging assembly and a second imaging assembly can be provided by a color imaging assembly. The inventors found that using the monochrome image sensor for decodable reading in some situations (e.g., low ambient light) would produce a better signal to noise ratio. However, in other situations (e.g., for particular color spectral contents of the image) a better signal to noise ratio (and, hence, better decode success rate) can be obtained using a color image sensor. - In another embodiment, a first imaging assembly can be provided by an imaging assembly with a lower resolution than that of a second imaging assembly. The inventors found that using the lower resolution image sensor can be advantageous in some situations, since the image processing time and the amount of memory required for the processing grows exponentially with the image resolution. Hence, the lower resolution image sensor can be preferred in time-critical or memory-critical applications.
- The selection of an image sensor which is more suitable for the attempted decodable indicia reading operation can be based upon comparing a measured parameter value to a pre-defined value.
- In one embodiment, the sensor selection parameter can be provided by a decoding time required to locate and decode the decodable indicia using the captured image. As noted herein supra, for some time-critical applications, the decoding time can be a threshold factor in deciding whether an image obtained by a selected image sensor is acceptable for further processing.
- In another embodiment, the sensor selection parameter can be provided by a required exposure time. High exposure values can be unacceptable for portable form factors of the decodable
indicia reading system 100, and hence, the image sensor selection can be based upon comparing the required exposure time to a pre-defined threshold value. - In another embodiment, the sensor selection parameter can be provided by the ambient light intensity. The sensor selection can be performed by comparing the ambient light intensity to a pre-defined value, since for a given image sensor the exposure time dependence upon the ambient light intensity can be a known function.
- In another embodiment, the sensor selection parameter can be provided by a signal to noise ratio obtained in the decodable indicia image. The sensor selection can be performed by comparing the signal-to-noise ratio to a pre-defined value.
- In another aspect, measuring the sensor selection parameter value can be performed as part of an attempted decodable indicia locating and decoding operation. Should the attempted locating and decoding operation fail, the image sensor selection method can be performed as described herein supra.
- In another embodiment, measuring the sensor selection parameter value can be performed without obtaining the decodable indicia image.
- One embodiment of the method for adaptively selecting an image sensor for reading decodable indicia by a decodable indicia reading system according to the invention is now being described with references to
FIG. 3 . - At
step 310, the counter J of available image sensors can be initialized with the value of 1. In one embodiment, at least one image sensor can be provided by a monochrome image sensor, and at least one image sensor can be provided by a color image sensor. In another embodiment, at least two of available image sensors can provide different image resolutions. In a yet another embodiment, at least two of available image sensors can provide different signal to noise ratios. - At
step 320, a value of a sensor selection parameter can be measured using a J-th image sensor. As noted herein supra, the sensor selection parameter can be provided by a decoding time, a required exposure time, an ambient light intensity, and/or a signal to noise ratio. A skilled artisan would appreciate the fact that measuring values of two or more sensor selection parameters is within the spirit and the scope of the invention. - In one embodiment, measuring the sensor selection parameter value can be performed as part of an attempted decodable indicia locating and decoding operation. In another embodiment, different sensor selection parameters can be used for different image sensors.
- At
step 330, the measured parameter value can be compared to a pre-defined sensor-specific threshold value for the J-th sensor. If the measured parameter value is greater than or equal to the pre-defined threshold value, the method can branch to step 380; otherwise, the method can continue to step 340. - At
step 340, the counter J of available image sensors can be incremented by 1. - At
step 350, the counter J can be compared to the number of available image sensors. If the value of J is less than or equal to the number of available image sensors, the method can cycle to step 320. Otherwise, the method can continue to step 370. - At
step 370, a message to the decodable indicia reading system operator can be displayed notifying the operator that a suitable image sensor could not be found. The notification can also be performed by an audible signal or a tactile signal. The method can terminate atstep 399. - At
step 380, a message to the decodable indicia reading system operator can be displayed notifying the operator that a suitable image sensor has been selected. The notification can also be performed by an audible signal or a tactile signal. - A skilled artisan would appreciate the fact that the operator notification steps 370 and 380 are not essential and can be omitted from the method implementation.
- At
step 390, a decodable indicia image can be obtained by the J-th image sensor. The image can be further processed to locate and decode the decodable indicia. - The method can terminate at
step 399. - A small sample of systems methods and apparatus that are described herein is as follows:
