Abstract:
An apparatus, method and assembly for minimizing oversaturation of an image of a barcode or other symbol due to specular reflection, and minimizing holes in the images using multiple light-detecting sensors each having a field-of-view (FOV) that intersects the central illumination axis of an illumination source, and that intersects the FOV of the other light-detecting sensor.

Claim (Index 19):
A method comprising:\n emitting light from an illumination source at least partially disposed within a housing, wherein the emitted light has a central imaging axis; capturing at least one of first light reflected from a target and first light emitted from the target at a first light-detecting sensor at least partially disposed within the housing, wherein the first light is captured within a first field of view of the first light-detecting sensor, the first field of view at least partially intersecting the central illumination axis at an imaging plane; capturing at least one of second light reflected from the target and second light emitted from the target at a second light-detecting sensor at least partially disposed within the housing, wherein the second light is captured within a second field of view of the second light-detecting sensor, the second field of view at least partially intersecting both the central illumination axis and the first field of view at the imaging plane; reading an image of the captured light from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors, wherein each image comprises an image of at least part of a symbol, and where reading the image of the captured light comprises reading the image of the symbol from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors; combining the image of part of the symbol from the first light-detecting sensor with the image of part of the symbol from the second light-detecting sensor to form a combined image of the symbol; and reading the combined image.
