More Information
Summary:An example barcode reader includes a housing having a window. An imaging assembly is recessed within the housing, has an imaging field-of-view (FOV) directed toward the window, and includes an imager configured to capture an image of an object positioned within a product scanning region. An illumination assembly is recessed within the housing and has an illumination FOV directed toward the window and overlaps the imaging FOV by at least 70% from zero to 3 inches from the window. A controller is configured to receive a captured image from the imaging assembly and to process the captured image to: determine if the object is a product for sale or a hand of a user; decode a barcode if the object is a product for sale; and identify elements of the hand of the user for identification if the object is the hand of the user.
