Abstract:
1. An arrangement for enhancing performance of an imaging reader for imaging symbols to be read, comprising: a solid-state imager supported by the reader and having a two-dimensional array of image sensors for capturing return light from a symbol as pixel data over a two-dimensional field of view; an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) operatively connected to the imager, for receiving the pixel data from the solid-state imager; a controller operatively connected to the ASIC, for mapping the ASIC with at least two virtual scan lines that extends over the field of view; the ASIC being operative for storing the pixel data from the solid-state imager received by the ASIC that lies on the at least two virtual scan lines as stored pixel data; and the controller being operative for decoding the stored pixel data, wherein the controller is operative for performing one-dimensional linear decoding on any barcode symbol crossed by each of the at least two virtual scan lines with the stored pixel data for the corresponding virtual scan line.
