Abstract
A method of optimizing a pick list using image data from a barcode scanner. An example method includes comparing a reference background image captured by a scanner to an image of a produce item to be purchased, calculating attributes from the image, comparing the calculated attributes to reference produce attributes in a produce database, selecting reference produce attributes associated with reference produce items that are closest to the calculated attributes as the top candidates in the pick list.
