1. A system for operating an indicia reader, the system comprising:
a first imaging assembly having a first field of view configured to capture one or more first images comprising first image data;
a second imaging assembly having a second field of view which at least partially overlaps the first field of view and is configured to capture one or more second images comprising second image data;
one or more processors; and
a memory associated with the indicia reader storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the indicia reader to:
capture the one or more first images;
store the first image data in the memory;
generate one or more lower resolution images comprising lower resolution image data corresponding to the one or more first images comprising first image data;
analyze the lower resolution image data to detect an object of interest;
in response to detecting the object of interest and having the object of interest meet a predetermined condition, determine a region of interest in the one or more lower resolution images of the lower resolution image data corresponding to the object of interest;
in response to determining the region of interest, access the first image data of the one or more first images from the memory;
generate cropped image data by cropping the one or more first images to include the region of interest;
analyze the cropped image data to determine information corresponding to the object of interest;
capture the one or more second images of the object of interest;
analyze the second image data to decode an indicia associated with the object of interest in the second image data resulting in a decoded indicia value; and
responsive to the information corresponding to the object of interest and the decoded indicia value having a mismatch, and the region of interest being proximate the indicia, generate a message indicating ticket switching.
