Long-range engine with two cameras having different resolution

A method for providing host processor processing of image data from imaging sensors, the method comprising:

• capturing image data of a near field of view of an environment using one of the imaging sensors, the image data of the near field of view being captured at a first image size;
• capturing image data of a far field of view of the environment from another of the imaging sensors, the image data of the far field of view being captured at a second image size different that the first image size;
• communicating the captured image data of the near field of view and the captured image data of the far field view to a normalization engine;
• at the normalization engine, performing an image normalization process on at least one of the captured image data of the near field of view and the captured image data of the far field view to normalize at least one of the first image size and the second image size prior to communicating at least one of the captured image data of the near field of view and the captured image data of the far field view to an external host processor coupled to the normalization engine through a communication interface;
• and
• at the host processor, performing an image processing on at least one of the captured image data of the near field of view and the captured image data of the far field view,
• wherein performing the image processing comprises decoding a decodable indicia in at least one of the captured image data of the near field of view and the captured image data of the far field view.
