Systems and Methods of Processing Image Data Using Color Image Sensors

Abstract:

Systems and methods of processing image data using color image sensors are disclosed herein. An example object scanner includes a color image sensor array configured to produce image data representative of an imaging field of view. The example object scanner also includes an image processor. The image process is configured to separate the image data produced by the color image sensor array into two or more channels of image data and, for each of the channels of image data, analyze the respective image data to determine a contrast of the respective image data. The image processor is also configured to select a particular channel of the two or more channels that has the highest contrast; and output the image data corresponding to the particular channel.
