Re-Scan Detection at Self-Check-Out Machines

A method and system for operating an indicia reader are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting a first object in the scanning region; capturing one or more images of the first object to create first image data; determining that a successful decode of an indicia has not occurred; retrieving the first image data of the first object; generating, using the first image data, an embedding of the first image data; detecting a second object in the scanning region; retrieving one or more support samples from an image database; comparing the embedding of the image data to each support sample of the one or more support samples; based on the comparison that the embedding of the image data does not match any support sample, performing an operation.
