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 51):
An apparatus comprising:\n a housing; an illumination source at least partially disposed within the housing, and having a central illumination axis; and an imaging engine supported by the housing, the imaging engine including:\n a first light-detecting sensor in a first position and having a first field of view that at least partially intersects the central illumination axis at an imaging plane, the first light-detecting sensor adapted to capture at least one of: light reflected from a target and light emitted from the target; and \n a second light-detecting sensor in a second position and having a second field of view that at least partially intersects both the central illumination axis and the first field of view at the imaging plane, the second light-detecting sensor adapted to capture at least one of: light reflected from the target and light emitted from the target, \n wherein the imaging engine is adapted to read an image from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors, wherein at least one of the first and second light detecting sensors is offset from the central illumination axis, and wherein the first light-detecting sensor is disposed 90 degrees relative to the second light-detecting sensor about the central illumination axis.
