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 37):
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:\n at least one of the first and second light detecting sensors is offset from the central illumination axis, \n the imaging engine is adapted to read an image from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors, each image comprising an image of at least part of a symbol, \n the imaging engine is further adapted to read the image of at least part of the symbol from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors, and \n the imaging engine is further adapted to combine 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 complete image of the symbol, and read the combined image.
