Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to utilizing geometric image cropping for improved image processing. Such geometric image cropping improves efficiency and/or throughput of various image processing tasks, for example for reading a machine-readable symbology via a specially-configured scanner. Some embodiments generate cropping parameter(s) using raytracing projections from lens data and ranging data for use in cropping image(s). Some embodiments generate cropping parameter(s) using magnification estimation for use in cropping image(s). Generated cropping parameter(s) may be stored via a reader, for example to a range-parameter table, to efficiently be retrieved and utilized for cropping subsequently captured images while remaining accurate and efficient for image processing.
