Abstract
Techniques for product scanning are provided herein. The techniques may include analyzing a first set of images of items passing through a product scanning region of a indicia reader to decode a first indicia associated with a first item; analyzing the first set of images to determine first parameters related to characteristics of the first item; storing the first parameters locally on a memory associated with the indicia reader; analyzing a second set of images of items passing through the product scanning region to decode a second indicia associated with a second item in the second set of images; analyzing the second set of images to determine second parameters related to characteristics of the second item, and, in response to the decoded first and second indicia being the same, comparing the first and second parameters, and generating an alert based on a difference between the first and second parameters.
