Abstract:
1. A digital image capturing and processing system comprising: a system housing having an imaging window; an area-type illumination and imaging module disposed within said system housing, for projecting a coextensive area-type illumination and imaging field through said imaging window into a 3D imaging volume during object illumination and imaging operations; wherein said area-type illumination and imaging module includes wherein said first and second fields of illumination spatially overlap and intermix with each other to produce a composite illumination field that is at least substantially coextensive with said FOV; a digital image processing subsystem for automatically processing said buffered digital images so as to read one or more 1D and/or 2D code symbols graphically represented in said digital images; an automatic object detection subsystem for automatically detecting an object moving through said 3D imaging volume, and generating signals indicative of said detected object motion; and a control subsystem, responsive to said signals generated by said automatic object detection subsystem, for controlling and/or orchestrating the operations of the subsystems within said area-type illumination and imaging module.
