    • Diffuse “dark field” illumination and “bright field” illumination are each provided for a hand-held encoded symbology imager/reader; to be projected therefrom upon symbology disposed on a target (component part, goods, package, etc.). The imager/reader is encased in a housing ergonomically configured to be griped in more then one manner and to thus facilitate holding the imager/reader steady. The symbology to be imaged is targeted by a line that not only spots the symbology, but by extending a length commensurate with that of the symbology, indicates that the symbology is in the field of view of the imager/reader. A CCD, disposed to receive light reflected from the symbology, has its readout controlled so that only selected portions of the CCD need be analyzed for illumination and focusing purposes. To optimize imaging and decoding time, and to optimize use of power, readout from some portions of the CCD is accomplished in relatively rapid time by speeding up the readout of the CCD in some of its active area; while reverting back to a slower readout for data to be analyzed for illumination and focusing control and decoding purposes. In addition, special application of entropy principles facilitate determining the optimum focus and illumination conditions for the imager/reader.
    • 漫射“暗场”照明和“亮场”照明分别为手持编码的符号系统成像仪/阅读器提供; 从配置在目标上的符号系统(部件,商品,包装等)投射出来。 成像器/读取器被封装在符合人体工程学的外壳中,以便以一种方式被夹持,从而有利于保持成像器/读取器的稳定。 要成像的符号系统的目标是一条线,不仅可以识别符号系统,而且通过扩展与符号系统相匹配的长度,表示符号系统在成像器/读取器的视野中。 设置为接收从符号系统反射的光的CCD具有其读出控制,使得仅需要分析CCD的所选部分以进行照明和聚焦。 为了优化成像和解码时间,并且优化功率的使用,通过在其一些有效区域中加速CCD的读出,在相对较快的时间内从CCD的一些部分读出; 同时还原为较慢的读数,以供分析用于照明和聚焦控制和解码目的的数据。 此外,熵原理的特殊应用有助于确定成像器/读取器的最佳聚焦和照明条件。

    • A focusable imaging system particularly suitable for use in acquiring digital images for subsequent processing such as in a hand held, omnidirectional symbology or bar code reader by which linear and two dimensional (matrix, maxi-code) bar codes may be imaged over relatively long working distances. The imaging system includes an focusing objective taking lens and a two-dimensional photodetector that operate to form an image of an object such as a bar code in X and Y directions simultaneously and generate an electrical signal representative of the object or code for subsequent downstream processing by which information embedded in the object or bar code may be extracted. Focusing is achieved via a rotating disk that carries a plurality of optical shims or other light controlling surfaces to provide for different focus zones. A through-the-lens (TTL) targeting system is provided to visually assist the user in positioning the reader for a variety of code modalities to assure that a bar code or the like will be captured within the field of view and be sharply imaged on the photodetector when the lens is focused. Two different forms of artificial illumination are provided to accommodate nearby objects or codes that may be either specular or partially diffuse and more distant objects or codes where the reflection characteristics have less impact on image contrast. Elements of the photodetector are used to assess available light levels and activate the artificial illumination system when ambient light levels are low. Ranging through the lens using elements of the photodetector is included to provide information to set the focus of the objective lens in one of many possible focusing zones.
