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 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a housing; an illumination source at least partially disposed within the housing, and having a central illumination axis; 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; and \n a first memory partition and a second memory partition, \n wherein the imaging engine is adapted to read an image from each of the first and second light-detecting sensors, and wherein at least one of the first and second light detecting sensors is offset from the central illumination axis, wherein each image comprises an image of at least part of a symbol, wherein the imaging engine is adapted to store the image from the first light-detecting sensor in the first memory partition, and store the image from the second light-detecting sensor in the second memory partition, and wherein 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.
