Linear imager rescaling method

A method of resealing an image of an object moving along a transport device, the method comprising:

• a. providing an imaging device having
• (i) a linear imaging sensor having a resolution;
• and
• (ii) a lens defining a focal length and a field of view;
• b. capturing a plurality of scan lines of the object as it moves across said transport system, where each of said plurality of scan lines has
• (i) a first end;
• (ii) an opposite second end;
• and
• (iii) a resolution;
• and
• c. processing each of said plurality of scan lines by
• (i) separating each of said plurality of scan lines at a center point into two halves;
• (ii) rescaling each half of each of said plurality of scan lines to a lower resolution by starting at said center point and working toward said first and said second scan line ends.

A method of rescaling an image, the method comprising:

• a. providing
• i. a linear image sensor, and
• ii. a conveyor system
• b. capturing at least two scan lines of the object transverse to a direction of travel of the conveyor system, where each of said at least two scan lines has a resolution associated therewith, wherein said resolution of each of said at least two scan lines differ as a distance between the object changes with respect to said linear sensor;
• and
• c. rescaling at least one of said at least two scan lines to a common resolution.
