    Abstract: Systems and methods reduce temperature induced drift effects on a liquid lens used in a vision system. A feedback loop receives a temperature value from a temperature sensor, and based on the received temperature value, controls a power to the heating element based on a difference between the measured temperature of the liquid lens and a predetermined control temperature to maintain the temperature value within a predetermined control temperature range to reduce the effects of drift. A processor can also control a bias signal applied to the lens or a lens actuator to control temperature variations and the associated induced drift effects. An image sharpness can also be determined over a series of images, alone or in combination with controlling the temperature of the liquid lens, to adjust a focal distance of the lens.

    Abstract: A code reader includes an image acquisition system to acquire a plurality of images. A sensor detects motion of the code reader, and a processor is operatively coupled to the image acquisition system and the sensor. The processor performs a plurality of steps including associating a first detected motion data with one of the plurality of acquired images; associating a second detected motion data with a subsequent one of the plurality of acquired images; attempting to decode the one of the plurality of acquired images; determining if the second detected motion data is preferred over the first detected motion data; and attempting to decode the subsequent one of the plurality of acquired images when the second detected motion data is preferred over the first detected motion data.
