Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory, computer-readable, storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a barcode decoder to:
obtain, from an image sensor, imaging data representing an image of an environment appearing within a field of view of the image sensor, wherein an arranged plurality of barcodes appear in the image;
decode a first subset of the plurality of barcodes from the image data, the first subset of the plurality of barcodes includes at least two barcodes;
determine, based upon location information associated with each of the decoded first subset of the plurality of barcodes, one or more parameters representing a predicted arrangement of the plurality of barcodes in the image;
determine, based upon the one or more parameters, possible locations for respective ones of a second subset of the plurality of barcodes, wherein the second subset excludes the first subset;
attempt to decode the second subset of the plurality of barcodes from the image data in vicinities of the respective possible locations; and
transmit, to a host, respective payload data associated with each of the first subset of the plurality of barcodes and decoded ones of the second subset of the plurality of barcodes.
