Abstract:
The present invention embraces an optical indicia reader, e.g., barcode scanner, that captures images of optical indicia under multiple imaging conditions within the span of a single frame. The reader includes an image sensor having selectively-addressable pixels that can be divided into groups having regions of interest (ROIs) within the reader field of view. Each pixel group is shuttered separately to obtain independent partial frame images under separate imaging conditions.

Claim (Index 36):
A method of capturing images under two or more separate imaging conditions within a single frame time by an optical reader, the method comprising:\n splitting, plurality of addressable pixels of an image sensor, between a first group of pixels and a second group of pixels, illuminating, optical indicia located in a field of view of the optical reader; exposing the first group of pixels and the second group of pixels, separately, to obtain partial frames of image data respectively; configuring imaging settings for the first group of pixels to a first predetermined scanning mode optimized for reading optical indicia presented in one form, configuring imaging settings for the second group of pixels to a second predetermined scanning mode optimized for reading optical indicia presented in at least one indicia another form, and wherein imaging settings for each of the first and second predetermined scanning modes include an exposure period, and wherein the exposure period for the first predetermined scanning mode having a different start time and end time from the exposure period for the second predetermined scanning mode.
