Abstract

Methods, machine-readable media, and devices for barcode verification are described herein. One method includes capturing an image of a barcode included with an item and an image of packaging associated with the item proximate to the barcode, decoding the image of the barcode included with the item to obtain item identification information represented by the barcode, extracting item identification information from the image of the packaging associated with the item, and determining whether the item identification information decoded from the image of the barcode matches the item identification information extracted from the image of the packaging associated with the item.
