摘要： There is provided a system of detecting mark-sense indicia wherein the images of a light source and the region of sensitivity of a light sensor are substantially coaxial, coplanar, and coextensive throughout the working depth of field. This system is insensitive to the laminate and the diffusion effects. A light source is aimed at a beam splitter that diverts a portion of the light beam through optics that focus the light on a reflective target containing a bar code symbol to be scanned. The reflected beam is returned through the optics and the beam splitter, and a portion of the reflected beam is conducted to a light sensor. In this manner, the light path from the detector to the optical sensor is split twice by the beam splitter. The optics are configured so that the light beams that define the field of illumination and the region of sensitivity and which pass between the optics and the target are congruent, having identical optical axes and angles of divergence.

摘要： A bar code detection circuit accepts as input the discretized analog output of a CCD array, and performs piecewise linear reconstruction to produces a continuous polylinear output signal. In the region of a bar/space transition, the output signal is a close approximation of the reflectance function of a bar code symbol convolved with the system transfer function of the bar code reader. Linear interpolation is performed in order to determine the offset of a given threshold value from an edge of the CCD analog output.

In alternate embodiments the matrix is coupled to remote sensors or another similar matrix to provide optical communication and interchange devices having high bandwidth.

摘要： There is disclosed an simplified apparatus that enables optical scanners to achieve minimum field curvature and at the same time provide uniformly distributed light on an image sensor. A single element lens, preferably an aspherical lens made of a plastic material is combined with an aperture stop. The combination is capable of reducing lens aberrations and minimizing image field curvature for an object plane that contains indicia to be scanned or read. A suitably demagnified image of the indicia is focused onto an image sensor such as a CCD array. The spatial light distribution function in the image plane can be equalized by an attenuator, such as a neutral density filter or a slit, suitably configured to compensate for the reduced optical efficiency at large field angles. An aspherical lens containing a dye or a cold mirror can be used for limiting light transmission to a range of wavelengths.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for detecting bar-space and space-bar transitions in a bar code symbol. A sequence of sparsely sampled analog signals from a photodetector in a bar code scanner is representative of the reflectance pattern of a symbol.Following initialization, a threshold, representing the value of the analog signal at a transition point, is derived from observed samples of the bars and spaces in the bar code symbol. Sampled reflectance information is accumulated as the symbol is scanned, and a program driven microprocessor calculates and repeatedly updates this threshold, using observed maxima and minima in the analog samples, and also referencing a binary output to determine whether a bar or space is currently being viewed.When the values of two successive analog samples bracket this threshold, then a bar-space or space-bar transition has occurred. Linear interpolation is performed on the two samples to determine the transition point and an offset from the first of the two samples. After a delay corresponding to this offset, the level of a binary output is changed. A bit serial binary output is thus produced, representative of the relative widths of bars and spaces.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于检测条形码符号中的条形空间和空格键转换的方法和装置。来自条形码扫描器中的光电检测器的稀疏采样的模拟信号的序列代表符号的反射率图案。在初始化之后，从条形码符号中的条形和空格的观察样本导出表示转换点处的模拟信号的值的阈值。扫描符号时累积采样反射信息，并且程序驱动的微处理器使用模拟采样中的观测最大值和最小值来计算并重复更新该阈值，并且还引用二进制输出以确定是否正在查看条形或空间。当两个连续的模拟样本的值包含该阈值时，就发生了一个条形空间或空格键转换。对两个样本执行线性插值，以确定转换点和两个样本中的第一个样本的偏移量。在与该偏移相对应的延迟之后，二进制输出的电平改变。因此产生了一个串行二进制输出，代表了条形和空格的相对宽度。

摘要： The invention features an image reader and a corresponding method for capturing a sharp distortion free image of a target, such as a one or two-dimensional bar code. In one embodiment, the image reader comprises a two-dimensional CMOS based image sensor array, a timing module, an illumination module, and a control module. The time during which the target is illuminated is referred to as the illumination period. The capture of the image by the image sensor array is driven by the timing module that, in one embodiment, is able to simultaneously expose substantially all of the pixels in the array. The time during which the pixels are collectively activated to photo-convert incident light into charge defines the exposure period for the sensor array. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the exposure period occurs during the illumination period.
