Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a graphical code reader is disclosed that includes an image capture component that is configured to capture images at different resolutions. The graphical code reader also includes a processor, and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions are stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to implement a method that involves providing a sequence that defines how resolutions of the captured images are varied. The method also involves capturing the images. The method also involves varying the resolutions of the captured images according to the sequence. The method also involves attempting to decode graphical codes within the captured images.
