Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting an object scan approach path and optimizing an imaging assembly in response to the scan path are provided. Image data captured from one or more fields of views is used to identify an object and determine, over a series of images, a scan path of that object relative to the imaging assembly. From the scan path, a lead-in side and a lead-out side of the imaging assembly are determined and used to adjust operating parameters of the imaging assembly to bias toward a right side scanning configuration, a left side scanning configuration, or a central scanning configuration. These operating parameters may include adjusting the wakeup, exposure, illumination, indicia identification, and scan avoidance configurations, for example, for optimum scan path operation.
