1. A system for volumetric assessment of a product based on images captured by a scanning arrangement having multiple fields of view (FOVs), comprising:
a first imaging assembly, having a first field of view of a product scanning region, configured to capture a first image of an item passing through the product scanning region at a time;
a second imaging assembly, having a second field of view of the product scanning region, the second imaging assembly being configured to capture a second image of the item passing through the product scanning region at a second time that is either the same or substantially the same as the time;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
determine a first distance of the item from an edge of the first field of view based on the first image;
determine a second distance of the item from a corresponding edge of the second field of view based on the second image; and
generate an estimated volume of the item based on the first image, the first distance, the second image, and the second distance.
