Abstract
Imaging devices, systems, and methods for converting a color image to a monochromatic image and decoding using the monochromatic image are described herein. An example device includes: an imaging assembly including one or more processors; a color imaging sensor configured to capture color image data of a field of view (FOV); and a computer-readable medium storing machine readable instructions. The machine readable instructions may, when executed, cause the one or more processors to: (i) capture, using the color imaging sensor, the color image data of the FOV, the color image data corresponding to one or more pixels; (ii) generate, using one or more monochromatic superpixels corresponding to the color image data, a reduced resolution monochromatic image; (iii) analyze the reduced resolution monochromatic image to detect a decode indicia in the reduced resolution monochromatic image; and decode the decode indicia in the reduced resolution monochromatic image.
