An indicia reading terminal has a three-dimensional depth sensor, a two dimensional image sensor, an autofocus lens assembly, and a processor. The three dimensional depth sensor captures a depth image of a field of view and create a depth map from the depth image, the depth map having one or more surface distances. The two dimensional image sensor receives incident light and capture an image therefrom. The autofocusing lens assembly is positioned proximate to the two dimensional image sensor such that the incident light passes through the autofocusing lens before reaching the two dimensional image sensor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the two dimensional image sensor, the three dimensional depth sensor, and the autofocusing lens assembly.

1. A method for reading indicia, comprising the steps of: providing an indicia reading terminal having: a three dimensional depth sensor,a two dimensional image sensor, andan autofocusing lens assembly positioned proximate to the two dimensional image sensor such that the incident light passes through the autofocusing lens before reaching the two dimensional image sensor;capturing a first depth image of a field of view with the three dimensional depth sensor;determining distances from the indicia reading terminal to major surfaces in the depth image having areas greater than a predetermined threshold to create a depth map of the first depth image, comprising calculating areas of the major surfaces and comparing the calculated areas to the predetermine threshold;calculating optimal focal distances from the autofocusing lens assembly to each of the major surfaces;capturing a first image with the two dimensional image sensor when the autofocusing lens assembly is focused at one of the optimal focal distances; anddecoding an indicia in the captured first image. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: sequentially focusing the auto focusing lens assembly at each of the calculated optimal focal distances. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of: capturing an image at each of the optimal focal distances with the two dimensional image sensor. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of: analyzing each captured image for the presence of a decodable indicia. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of: stopping the sequential focusing of the auto focusing lens assembly when a decodable indicia is present in the captured image. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising the step of: capturing a second depth image of the field of view if no decodable indicia is present in any of the captured images based on the first depth image. 7. The method of claim 5, further comprising the step of determining approximate dimensions of an item having the decodable indicia from the areas of the major surfaces in the depth map. 8. The indicia reading terminal of claim 1, further comprising the step of: predicting an optimal exposure level for each predicted optimal focus distance. 9. The indicia reading terminal of claim 8, wherein the two dimension image sensor captures the first image using the predicted optimal exposure level. 10. A method for reading indicia, comprising the steps of: providing an indicia reading terminal having: a three dimensional depth sensor,a two dimensional image sensor, andan autofocusing lens assembly positioned proximate to the two dimensional image sensor such that the incident light passes through the autofocusing lens before reaching the two dimensional image sensor;capturing a first depth image of a field of view with the three dimensional depth sensor;determining distances from the indicia reading terminal to major surfaces in the depth image having areas greater than a predetermined threshold to create a depth map of the first depth image;calculating optimal focal distances from the autofocusing lens assembly to each of the major surfaces;capturing a first image with the two dimensional image sensor when the autofocusing lens assembly is focused at one of the optimal focal distances;decoding an indicia in the captured first image; andcomparing the area of the major surface having the decodable indicia with an expected area value encoded in the decodable indicia.
