    Abstract: A code scanning device for detecting an optical code on an object in a reading area, comprising a light transmitter for transmitting a reading beam, a deflection unit for periodically deflecting the reading beam over the reading area with a scanning frequency fscan, a light receiver for generating a received signal from the returning reading beam, a distance sensor for detecting a distance d from the object, and a control and evaluation unit configured to read a code content of the optical code on the basis of the received signal and to set the scanning frequency fscan as a function of the distance d.

    Abstract: A camera (10) for detecting objects (48) moving relative to the camera (10) in a direction of movement (50), comprising an image sensor (18) for recording image data of the objects (48) in a camera field of view (14, 56), an optoelectronic distance sensor (24) using a time-of-flight method having a plurality of measurement zones (30a) for measuring a plurality of distance values to the objects (48) in a distance measurement field of view (58), and a control and evaluation unit (38) configured to find, by measuring distance values over a configuration time and evaluating the distance values and/or their change, a region where objects (48) move, and to automatically set a region of interest (60) for the distance sensor (24) within the distance measurement field of view (58) by determining an object region as the region where objects (48) move.

    Abstract: A camera for detecting an object in a detection zone is provided that has an image sensor for recording image data, a reception optics having a focus adjustment unit for setting a focal position, a distance sensor for measuring a distance value from the object, and a control and evaluation unit connected to the distance sensor and the focus adjustment unit to set a focal position in dependence on the distance value, and to determine a distance value with the distance sensor via a variable measurement duration that is predefined in dependence on a provisional distance value such that a measurement error of the distance value and thus, on a recording of image data of the object, a focus deviation of the set focal position from an ideal focal position remains small enough for a required image sharpness of the image data.

    Abstract: A camera device having an image sensor for recording an image and having a control and evaluation unit configured to subdivide the image into first subregions, to find a second subregion in the image with structures of interest, and to carry out a brightness adjustment of the image, wherein the control and evaluation unit is further configured to determine a respective brightness distribution for the first subregions, to determine a selection of those first subregions that correspond to the second subregion, to generate a common brightness distribution of the second subregion from the brightness distributions of the first subregions of the selection, and to use the common brightness distribution to carry out the brightness adjustment for the second subregion.

    Abstract: A code reader for the reading of optical codes is provided that has an image sensor for the detection of image data with the code and that has a control and evaluation unit that is configured to read the code with at least one decoding method, wherein the control and evaluation unit is connected to a distance sensor that determines a distance value for the distance of the code. The control and evaluation unit is further configured for the purpose of setting at least one parameter and/or including at least one additional algorithm of the decoding method for the decoding method in dependence on the distance value.
