Image capture device with integrated barcode scanning

An image capture device comprising:

• an image sensor;
• and
• an image processor coupled to the image sensor, the image processor including:
• a barcode detection module that detects at least one barcode within a scene of interest while the image capture device operates in a non-barcode image capture mode;
• and
• a sensor configuration module that configures, based on the detection of the at least one barcode, one or more image capture properties of the image sensor to improve an image quality of a region of the scene of interest that includes the detected barcode;
• wherein
• the image processor causes the image sensor to capture an image of the scene of interest in accordance with the one or more configured image capture properties.

A computer-program product comprising a computer readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:

• code for detecting at least one barcode within a scene of interest with an image capture device operating in a non-barcode image capture mode;
• code for configuring, based on the detection of the at least one barcode, one or more image capture properties of the image capture device to improve an image quality of a region of the scene of interest that includes the detected barcode;
• and
• code for capturing an image of the scene of interest with the image capture device in accordance with the one or more configured image capture properties.
