Image processing handheld scanner system, method, and computer readable medium

A method, comprising:

• at least one processor accessing, from memory coupled to said at least one processor, instructions causing said at least one processor to process sensor data received from a scanner, wherein said sensor data includes a plurality of image tiles and position indicating data defining a respective relative position of each one of said image tiles, wherein each one of said image tiles includes data representing a discrete portion of visual content of a scanned object;
• and
• said at least one processor accessing, from said memory, instructions causing said at least one processor to display a feedback image derived from said image tile data, wherein instructions causing said at least one processor to display the feedback image includes instructions causing said at least one processor to display the discrete portion of said visual content of each one of said image tiles in a real-time or near real-time manner with respect to each one of said image tiles being generated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions accessible therefrom, said computer-executable instructions configured for controlling at least processor to perform a method of processing sensor data generated by an image scanner, the method comprising the operations of:

• processing sensor data received from a scanner, wherein said sensor data includes a plurality of image tiles and position indicating data defining a respective relative position of each one of said image tiles, wherein each one of said image tiles includes data representing a discrete portion of visual content of a scanned object;
• and
• displaying a feedback image derived from said image tile data, wherein displaying the feedback image includes displaying the discrete portion of said visual content of each one of said image tiles in a real-time or near real-time manner with respect to each one of said image tiles being generated and wherein displaying the discrete portion of said visual content of each one of said image tiles includes correlating the relative position of each one of said image tiles in the real-time or near real-time manner with at least one other image tile that has been previously generated and displayed.
