Abstract
An apparatus for scanning and decoding barcodes includes an imager, a sample imaging area, and a processor. The imager is configured to capture images within a selectable field of view. The sample imaging area is configured to support a plurality of sample/tissue containers. Each sample/tissue container of the plurality of sample/tissue containers comprises a respective barcode. At least a portion of the plurality of sample/tissue containers are positioned within the field of view, such that a plurality of the respective barcodes is within the field of view. The processor is configured to receive captured images from the imager. The processor is configured to detect and decode each of the plurality of respective barcodes present in a first image of the captured images. The processor is also configured to define an associated region of interest for each barcode present in the first image.
