Methods and systems for avoidance of unintended indicia scanning

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• capturing, by one or more image sensors collectively having a field of view (FOV), image data including a plurality of image frames over the FOV;
• decoding, by a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the one or more image sensors, an indicia in an initial image frame of the plurality of image frames to generate decoded indicia data of the indica;
• determining, by the processing assembly, a first location associated with the indicia in the initial image frame;
• determining, by the processing assembly, a second location associated with the indicia in a subsequent image frame, wherein the subsequent image frame is a predetermined number of image frames or a predetermined time interval after the initial image frame;
• determining, by the processing assembly, whether a positional difference between the second location and the first location exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• responsive to determining the positional difference exceeding the threshold value, transmitting, by the processing assembly to a host processor, the decoded indicia data of the indicia.
