Abstract
Various vision devices are disclosed herein. An example vision device is an indicia reader that includes a housing, an imaging assembly having a field of view (FOV) extending into a product-scanning region and configured to capture image data depicting an environment appearing within the FOV, and an illumination assembly configured to emit a structured light into the product-scanning region such that at least a portion of the structured light overlaps with at least a portion of the FOV in the product-scanning region. The indicia reader is selectively operable pursuant to one of a first or a second set of operating parameters based on a distance value, where that value is determined by analyzing, in the image data, an appearance of the structured light on some portion of an object appearing within the FOV.
