Methods and apparatus to determine barcode decoding parameters for a plurality of barcodes in an image

An apparatus comprising:

• an interface to receive, from an image sensor, image data representing an image of an environment appearing within a field of view of the image sensor;
• a barcode decoder;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine whether a plurality of barcodes appearing in the image are encoded using at least one of a same barcode size, a same module size, or a same barcode format;
• cause the barcode decoder to decode a first barcode of the plurality of barcodes from image data, and determine a set of barcode decoding parameters used to successfully decode the first barcode;
• and
• when the plurality of barcodes appearing in the image are encoded using at least one of the same barcode size, the same module size, or the same barcode format, cause the barcode to attempt to decode all remaining barcodes of the plurality of barcodes from the image data starting with the set of barcode decoding parameters.

A non-transitory, computer-readable, storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a barcode decoder to:

• obtain, from an image sensor, imaging data representing an image of an environment appearing within a field of view of the image sensor;
• determine whether a plurality of barcodes appearing in the image are encoded using at least one of a same barcode size, a same module size, or a same barcode format;
• decode a first barcode of the plurality of barcodes from the image data;
• determine a set of barcode decoding parameters used to successfully decode the first barcode;
• and
• when the plurality of barcodes appearing in the image are encoded using at least one of the same barcode size, the same module size, or the same barcode format, attempt to decode all remaining barcodes of the plurality of barcodes from the image data using first the set of barcode decoding parameters.
