Disclosed are barcode scanners and methods for scanning a barcode. The barcode scanners and methods for scanning a barcode may include receiving a raw image from a scanner. Channel information may be extracted from each pixel of the raw image. A composite image may be created using the channel information from each pixel of the raw image. Finally, product information may be extracted from the composite image.

Barcode scanner optimization

Currency is selectively illuminated with Ultraviolet (UV) light, Infrared (IR) light, and/or white light in front of a camera, which may be integrated into a scanner in some embodiments. The camera takes an image of the illuminated currency and the image is presented on a screen of a display for validating the currency.

Currency validation

Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, devices, barcode scanners, and software for variable depth of field scanning devices and methods. One such embodiment includes determining a distance from a known point to an item presented for scanning by a barcode scanner. This embodiment further includes adjusting a variable lens of a camera of the barcode scanner to a depth of field based on the determined distance.

Variable depth of field scanning devices and methods

A scanner having an integrated camera is used to capture gestures made in a field of view of the camera. The captured gestures are translated to scanner commands recognized by the scanner. The scanner executes the recognized commands.

Scanner gesture recognition

A checkout device including a multi-touch surface display which can also weigh items. An example checkout device includes a surface element for displaying transaction screens and for receiving touch inputs during a transaction, and a load cell below the surface element for producing a weight signal corresponding to a weight of an item of the transaction on the surface element.

Checkout device with multi-touch input device

A checkout system including a rotating barcode reader. In an example embodiment, the checkout system includes a base, a platform rotatable with respect to the base, a substantially circular top plate mounted to the platform including a window; and a barcode reader on the platform adjacent the window. The substantially circular top plate and the barcode reader are rotatable with the platform.
