1. A barcode-reading device, comprising:
a camera configured to capture images, the camera having a field of view;
an actuator that is configured to control movement of at least one camera component;
a processor;
memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and
an image processing module stored in the memory and executable by the processor to:
process the images captured by the camera to determine a relative velocity of an object in the field of view of the camera, the relative velocity indicating a velocity of the object relative to the camera; and
send control signals to the actuator based on results of processing the images, wherein the control signals cause the actuator to move the at least one camera component without moving the entire camera, and wherein the movement of the at least one camera component reduces the relative velocity of the object.
