ABSTRACT:
An imager captures light reflecting off an object of interest and generates two or more images of the object. A controller identifies artifacts in one of the captured images and defines one or more non-interpretation regions in a binary image. The non-interpretation regions include pixels representative of the artifacts and do not include pixels representative of the object of interest. The controller performs pixel operations on the pixels in the binary image to reduce a number of artifacts in a final image.
