Each camera 10 may photograph an image within a certain range, i.e., a depth area, and the photographed area may be divided into a clear area and a blurred area. The plurality of fixed-focus cameras 10 are arranged together, the depth of field of the fixed-focus cameras is overlapped to form the total depth of field, and the shooting range is large. When a shot object enters a total depth-of-field area formed by overlapping the depths of field of the multiple fixed-focus cameras 10, the multiple fixed-focus cameras 10 shoot the object to shoot an information image, but the clear areas of the shot images of the multiple cameras 10 are different, so that when the object enters the total depth-of-field area, the information images shot by the multiple cameras 10 are different in definition, and the information image shot by one camera is always clear. The plurality of fixed-focus cameras can be arranged into circles, regular polygons, straight lines and the like, and can also be arranged into triangles. A plurality of fixed focus cameras are arranged into a circle and are distributed uniformly and symmetrically. The plurality of fixed-focus cameras are arranged in a linear shape, and the total field depth area is large. The information image is an image containing identifiable effective information, such as a one-bit barcode image, a two-dimensional barcode image or a black mark image.

The plurality of fixed-focus cameras adopt a plurality of fixed-focus cameras with different focal lengths, the depth of field is different, and the range of recognizable clear images is wide. Depth of field refers to the range of object distances measured in front of the camera lens or other imager along the camera axis of the imaging depth camera that enables a sharp image to be taken.
The processor 20 is connected to the plurality of fixed-focus cameras 10, receives the information images shot by the plurality of fixed-focus cameras 10, compares the sharpness of the plurality of information images to obtain an information image with the highest sharpness, and decodes and identifies the information image with the highest sharpness. Because the depth of field of each camera 10 is limited, in the total depth of field area, the information images shot by each fixed-focus camera 10 have different definitions, and the processor 20 compares and analyzes the information images shot by the plurality of fixed-focus cameras 10 to obtain the information image with the highest definition as the required information image. The processor 20 then identifies the obtained information image with the highest definition, the operation is simple and convenient, a large amount of software methods are not needed for repairing the blurred image, the focal length is not needed to be adjusted, and the adjustment time is saved.

Where zones 120, 142 have overlapping portions, zones 122, 140, 162 have overlapping portions, and zones 144 and 160 have overlapping portions. The shot object is located in a 300-millimeter depth area, the three cameras can shoot the object, when the object is located in the area 120, the information image shot by the camera 12 is clearest, when the object is located in the area 140, the information image shot by the camera 14 is clearest, when the object is located in the area 160, the information image shot by the camera 16 is clearest, no matter where the object is located in the 300-millimeter depth area, the processor 20 compares the definitions of the information images shot by the cameras 12, 14 and 16 to obtain the information image with the highest definition, and then decodes and identifies the information image with the highest definition.
