Method and device for determining object orientation

Abstract:

A barcode scanning device for determining an object orientation of an object includes: a barcode reader; a decoding processor interconnected with the barcode reader, the decoding processor configured to: control the barcode reader to read the barcode and generate barcode data representing the barcode; and an orientation processor interconnected with the decoding processor, the orientation processor configured to: receive the barcode data and determine a barcode orientation based on the barcode data; determine the object orientation based on the barcode orientation; and output an indication of the object orientation.
