Abstract

Depth information from a depth sensor, such as a LiDAR system, is used to correct perspective distortion for decoding an optical pattern in a first image acquired by a camera. Image data from the first image is spatially correlated with the depth information. The depth information is used to identify a surface in the scene and to distort the first image to generate a second image, such that the surface in the second image is parallel to an image plane of the second image. The second image is then analyzed to decode an optical pattern on the surface identified in the scene.
