Abstract:
1. A method for operating an indicia reading terminal for decoding of a decodable indicia, said indicia reading terminal including an image sensor and an imaging lens assembly for focusing of an image of said decodable indicia onto said image sensor, said indicia reading terminal being operative to capture at a frame rate a succession of frames of image data, said method comprising the steps of: (a) processing image information to determine a location of a decodable indicia representation in a certain frame of image data; (b) determining one or more imaging parameter selectively utilizing frame image data corresponding to said location determined, via the processing image information, to be a location of a decodable indicia representation, wherein said one or more imaging parameter includes an imaging parameter of an imaging parameter type selected from the group consisting of an exposure period parameter, a gain parameter, and an illumination level parameter; wherein the processing referred to in step (a) and the determining referred to in step (b) are performed during a common trigger signal activation period, and (c) utilizing said one or more imaging parameter determined at step (b), capturing a subsequent frame of image data.
