Patent ID: 8528823

Claim:
An indicia reading terminal comprising: an image sensor integrated circuit having a two-dimensional image sensor, said two-dimensional image sensor including a plurality of pixels arranged in repetitive patterns, each pattern of said repetitive patterns including at least one pixel sensitive in a first spectrum region, at least one pixel sensitive in a second spectrum region, and at least one pixel sensitive in a third spectrum region; a hand held housing encapsulating said two-dimensional image sensor; an imaging lens configured to focus an image of a target decodable indicia onto said two-dimensional image sensor; wherein said image sensor integrated circuit is configured to capture a frame of image data by reading out a plurality of analog signals, each analog signal of said plurality of analog signals being representative of light incident on a group of two or more pixels of said plurality of pixels; wherein said group of two or more pixels includes one of: a pixel sensitive in said first spectrum region and a pixel sensitive in said third spectrum region, two pixels sensitive in said second spectrum region, a pixel sensitive in said first spectrum region and a pixel sensitive in said second spectrum region, a pixel sensitive in said second spectrum region and a pixel sensitive in said third spectrum region; wherein said image sensor integrated circuit is further configured to convert said plurality of analog signals to a plurality of digital signals and to store said plurality of digital signals in a memory; and wherein said indicia reading terminal is operative to process said frame of image data for attempting to decode for decodable indicia.
