Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for dynamically managing image frame formats during a streaming session in machine vision applications. An imaging assembly captures images with varying frame formats and communicates with a host equipped with a processor, memory, and vision analysis module. Utilizing direct memory access (DMA), the host efficiently stores images by adjusting DMA parameters to accommodate format changes without session interruption. This approach may eliminate the need for image padding, optimizing memory usage and data transmission. The system enhances adaptability in real-time imaging tasks, such as barcode scanning, by seamlessly switching between different frame formats based on image characteristics. The method includes initiating an imaging session triggered by external events and processing captured images for machine vision tasks, thereby improving system responsiveness and throughput in diverse industrial and commercial environments.
