Abstract
Systems and methods for exception handling in an automated machine-readable symbol reader system having a machine-readable symbol reader that captures machine-readable symbols within a view volume. One or more image capture devices obtain a plurality of images of an exception object in response to an exception generated in the view volume. A processor receives the images, identities visual object recognition features from each image, and compares the features to determine one or more descriptive measures indicative of a likelihood that an operator (e.g., store employee) will be able to identify the exception object by viewing the image. The processor displays at least one of the images (e.g., the most descriptive image) on a display device according to the descriptive measure so that an operator can rapidly identify the identity of the exception object and take steps to resolve the exception.
