System and method for verifying optical code reads and RFID reads

A system and method are provided for sensing an image of an object and an optical code associated with the object and generating respective data. A processing unit generates codes, accesses object image data associated with at least one respective stored digital code in a database that substantially matches the respective digital code; and compares the object image data with the object image data entry and determines if the comparison results are within a predetermined image recognition certainty threshold. An RFID imaging system is also provided having a device for imaging an object associated with a tag whose RFID code is read. The system verifies whether the RFID code processed by the RFID reader and imaging system corresponds to the imaged object by comparing the acquired image data with the stored image data corresponding with the RFID code read.
