Abstract
A method of actuating a barcode reading platform by combining omnidirectional laser scanning and area-imaging approaches to trigger an imaging assembly in response to sensing laser pulses reflected and/or scattered by surrounding objects is disclosed. Specifically, a method of capturing an image of a barcode with a barcode scanner focuses on actuating a laser scanning system, illuminating an object with optical laser beam pulses, detecting laser beams reflected and/or scattered by the object, transmitting and analyzing a signal indicative of the detected laser beams to determine a presence of the object, and actuating a barcode reading platform.
