Abstract
Systems and methods for concurrent image capture and decoding of graphical codes are disclosed. In an exemplary method disclosed herein, a first image is captured by an image capture component in a graphical code reader. The first image is processed by a decoding component. Processing the first image involves searching for a graphical code within the first image and attempting to decode the graphical code. A second image is then captured by the image capture component while the first image is being processed by the decoding component.
