Claim Text:
1. A linear barcode scanning system for reading a linear barcode borne by an item during transport of the item along a direction of transport by a transport system, the system comprising: a laser scanner configured to acquire first scanline data at a first sample time from a first region of the linear barcode and second scanline data at a second sample time from a second region of the linear barcode, in which the second region is spaced apart from the first region along the direction of transport and according to a transport distance imparted from movement of the item by the transport system during a period between the first sample time and the second sample time; a movement sensor configured to determine an amount of the transport distance imparted from movement of the item by the transport system during the period between the first time and the second time; and a processor configured to generate a two-dimensional image depiction of the linear barcode by synthesizing image data representing a third region of the linear barcode that is sized according to the amount of the transport distance and is positioned between the first region and the second region such that the image data representing the third region provides for a depiction of an unsampled area of the linear barcode.
