Abstract
A camera based code reader for reading an optical code on an object in a relative movement to the code reader has a linear image sensor to record a respective image line and a control and evaluation unit having at least one first pre-processing unit and a further processing unit. The first pre-processing unit is connected to the image sensor and is configured to read image line by image line in the course of the relative movement, to rescale a respective image line with a zoom factor z in a pre-processing, and then to forward it to the further processing unit. The further processing unit is configured to read the optical code from the image lines. The image sensor has a plurality of linear arrangements of light reception elements. Some of the light reception elements are sensitive to white light and some are respectively sensitive to only one color.
