Patent ID: 7726575

Claim:
An indicia reading terminal comprising: an image sensor having a plurality of pixels formed in a plurality of rows and columns of pixels, wherein said indicia reading terminal has a field of view; an imaging lens focusing an image of an article within said field of view onto said image sensor; a light generating assembly projecting at least a first light formation onto said article for determining dimension information of said article, said first light formation being projected onto said article within said field of view of said indicia reading terminal; wherein said indicia reading terminal is operable in a spatial measurement mode of operation in which said indicia reading terminal determines at least one of a width, length or height dimension of said article; wherein said indicia reading terminal, when operating in said spatial measurement mode of operation processes a frame of image data including a representation of said article and determines a pixel position for a representation of said at least one formation; and wherein said indicia reading terminal, further in said spatial measurement mode of operation utilizes at least one of setup data determined prior to said spatial measurement mode of operation being made active, and data determined utilizing said setup data, wherein said setup data includes pixel position data for representations of the first light formation at each of a first and second terminal to target distance.
