Abstract:
1. A system for detecting and extracting symbology ID features comprising: a. a plurality of single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) processors, a memory, and at least one general purpose processor all residing on a discrete die, the memory being constructed and arranged to store and transfer, and the SIMD processors each being constructed and arranged to operate on, a group of pixel data provided by a pixel array; and b. an ID region of interest (ROI) finding process that detects at least one ID ROI that contain ID characteristics and that operates at least in part while captured pixel data associated with the ID ROI is provided from the pixel array so as to provide a data set that is transmitted to an ID decoding process; wherein the ROI-finding process includes a row-processing process that operates within a row to detect edge data indicating an ID ROI candidate while captured pixel data is read-out from the pixel array.
