Claim One:
1. A mobile computing device-implemented method of imaging an object to read information, comprising the steps of: a) capturing a plurality of raw images of the object by an image capturing component of the mobile computing device and placing in a first queue in a first memory location; b) processing, in one or more processors of the mobile device, a plurality of raw images substantially simultaneously to extract potential machine readable zone (MRZ) candidates and placing in a second queue in a second memory location; c) analyzing one of the MRZ candidates from the second queue to detect the presence of a predetermined size MRZ rectangle; d) creating an MRZ blob if an MRZ rectangle is detected in step c); e) processing the MRZ blob to form an MRZ; f) placing the MRZ of step e) in a third queue in a third memory location; and g) creating a composite MRZ if a timer has expired, or the third queue has reached a predetermined threshold.
