Abstract
Techniques for weight checking to verify ticket switching are disclosed. The system includes a weighing scale, cameras to capture images of items and their barcodes, a processor, and memory with instructions. The processor determines a first identification from a barcode image and a second identification from an item image. It compares these identifications to check for a match. If they do not match, it prompts the user to place the item on the scale. If the item's weight does not match the expected weight for the first identification, the system triggers mitigation actions such as pausing transactions or alerting staff.
