Barcode reader. A stationary barcode scanner for a conveyor line. A barcode reader or barcode scanner is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes and send the data they contain to computer. [1] Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens, and a light sensor for translating optical impulses into electrical signals.
The first mark sense scanner was the IBM 805 Test Scoring Machine; this read marks by sensing the electrical conductivity of graphite pencil lead using pairs of wire brushes that scanned the page. In the 1930s, Richard Warren at IBM experimented with optical mark sense systems for test scoring, as documented in US Patents 2,150,256 (filed in ...
Automatic identification and data capture. Automatic identification and data capture ( AIDC) refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering them directly into computer systems, without human involvement. Technologies typically considered as part of AIDC include QR codes, [1] bar codes, radio ...
On-board diagnostics. Various angles and details of a "MaxScan OE509" – a fairly typical onboard diagnostics (OBD) handheld scanner from the first decade of the 21st century. Used to connect to the SAE J1962 Data Link Connector (DLC) found in many cars of the era. On-board diagnostics ( OBD) is a term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic ...
Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...
Magnetic ink character recognition code, known in short as MICR code, is a character recognition technology used mainly by the banking industry to streamline the processing and clearance of cheques and other documents. MICR encoding, called the MICR line, is at the bottom of cheques and other vouchers and typically includes the document-type ...
Contact image sensors ( CIS) are image sensors used in flatbed scanners almost in direct contact with the object to be scanned. Charge-coupled devices (CCDs), the other kind of sensor often used in scanners, use mirrors to bounce light to a stationary sensor. Scanners using CISs are much smaller than ones that use CCDs, use typically a tenth as ...
High Capacity Color Barcode. High Capacity Color Barcode ( HCCB) is a technology developed by Microsoft for encoding data in a 2D "barcode" using clusters of colored triangles instead of the square pixels conventionally associated with 2D barcodes or QR codes. [1] Data density is increased by using a palette of 4 or 8 colors for the triangles ...
