US 2026/0087475 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO CONTROL VISION CAMERAS

Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling vision cameras are provided herein. An example method may include determining that an object is within a first focus range associated with an imaging sensor. The example method may further include adjusting a focus of the imaging sensor to the first focus range. The example method may further include capturing first imaging data that is representative of the object in the first focus range. The example method may further include determining that the object is within a second focus range associated with the imaging sensor. The example method may further include adjusting the focus of the imaging sensor to the second focus range. The example method may further include capturing second imaging data that is representative of the object in the second focus range.

Dependent claims

A product scanner, comprising:

a housing;
an indicia scanner comprising an optical light source, an optical sensor, and a lens wherein the indicia scanner is configured to:
capture indicia data from a product indicia disposed within an indicia scan region, wherein the indicia scan region is defined by an optical field-of-view of the optical sensor;
and
an imaging system comprising an imaging sensor comprising an imaging field-of-view, wherein the imaging field-of-view comprises a first focus range and a second focus range, and wherein the imaging system is configured to:
determine that an object is within the first focus range;
adjust a focus of the imaging sensor to the first focus range;
capture first imaging data that is representative of the object in the first focus range of the imaging field-of-view;
determine that the object is within the second focus range;
adjust the focus of the imaging sensor to the second focus range;
and
capture second imaging data that is representative of the object in the second focus range of the imaging field-of-view.
