1. An indicia decoding and/or machine vision system, the system comprising:
an image processing assembly configured to capture (i) first image data over a first field of view of the image sensor with the first image data having a first resolution and (ii) second image data of a second field of view of the image sensor, the first field of view being larger than the second field of view, and the first resolution having a lower resolution density than the second resolution;
a first data pipeline configured to transmit the first image data from the image sensor to a first module configured to perform image processing on the first image data;
a second data pipeline configured to transmit the second image data from the image sensor to a second module configured to perform image processing on the second image data; and
a processor and computer-readable media storage having machine readable instructions stored thereon that, when the machine readable instructions are executed, cause the system to:
capture, via the image sensor, image data of either of the first field of view or of the second field of view of the image sensor; and
responsive to capturing image data, transmit either the first image data via the first data pipeline to the first module or the second image data via the second data pipeline to the second module.
