Abstract
Embodiments described include apparatuses, computer program products, and methods for automatic proof of delivery, for example by capturing and decoding a visual indicia. Some embodiments minimize possibilities of errors, false proof, and/or the like in item delivery. At least one embodiment enables automatic proof of delivery in a multi-sensor environment. Example embodiments are configured for capturing an image data object set utilizing at least one of an image sensor set, where the image data object set includes a captured-indicia image data object including a visual indicia; decoding the visual indicia to identify delivery information; identifying a delivery proof image data object from the image data object set; and processing the delivery proof image data object for use as a proof of delivery. Some embodiments include a near-field image sensor for capturing the delivery proof image data object and a far-field sensor for capturing the captured-indicia image data object.
