Abstract

See full text

A method and system for acquiring an optical target affixed to a surface of a package with an optical scanning device. Height information associated with the height of the surface of the package is sensed and a height signal representative of a scanning distance between the optical target and the optical scanning device is generated. The package surface is scanned with the optical scanning device to generate an optical target input signal. The optical target input signal is converted in accordance with a first sampling frequency to provide a converted input signal, and a second resampling frequency is adjusted in accordance with the height signal. The converted input signal is reconverted in accordance with the second resampling frequency to generate a frequency shifted optical target signal, and the optical target on the surface of the package is acquired in accordance with the frequency shifted optical target signal.
