Speaker: Dr. Ynjiun Wang

Hand Held Products Inc, USA

Abstract:

Since the proliferation of CMOS sensor technology, the digital camera/sensor technology has been widely deployed in almost all facets of our daily life ranging from optical mouse, camera phone, digital camera, camcorder, etc. Likewise, in industrial applications such as in the field of Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC), the 2D CMOS sensor technology now gradually replaces CCD and laser scanner as main stream barcode reading technology. In this talk, we would like to present the challenges of using 2D imager for hand held imaging applications and potential technologies which might address these issues. The technology challenges for a hand held 2D image reader.
