Abstract: A checkout system for data reading, and related methods of use, the checkout system including one or more data reading devices with a conveyor for transporting items toward a read zone of the data reading devices, and an exception identification system capable of identifying exception items transported through the read zone without being successfully identified by the data reader. The checkout system includes an exception handling system operable to receive exception handling input for resolving an exception associated with the exception item, and a feedback system for receiving the exception handling input and determining whether and how to adjust an object recognition model of the data reading devices to improve performance.

Abstract: A scanner is configured to verify barcodes as described below. The scanner has a processor and memories for reading a barcode, capturing images of the product having the barcode, and generating notifications based on attributes of the barcode attached to the product. The processor measures barcode attributes specified by international barcode standards for each barcode extracted from the product images. A grade is then assigned to each extracted barcode based on the barcode attributes and the corresponding measurements. If necessary, notifications are generated based on the assigned grade and are then transmitted to the retailer to correct the deficiencies with the barcode or the product.
